Just a thought Lobey.what about depreciation ?

---

Most cars that we have looked at have built in extras that we do not want.
Indeed one of our present two Scenics is so over engineered that it has put us off ever buying another Scenic, so we are pleasantly surprised to find a car that is ideal for us and that we pick the extras that we want rather than what the manufacturer thinks we want.

Comments from the critics of this world really do not stand up when compared to the comments of British guys living in Romania who are driving Dusters, nor to critics like Honest John in car reviews.

But either way, we are really not interested in depretiation as we have no intention of selling it anytime in the next ten years.
It is to be our FC tow car and that is all I am interested in.

We were in Inverary on Saturday.

Well done, good luck and do report back.

What took you up there Ali?

Did you visit the Jail. I have had a couple of tours of that. A most interesting insight to times gone bye.

Also a visit to the Penguin at the harbour is interesting, although it is not all it appears to be!

It was beached close to where I live when it was having its propeller shaft fitted.
It used to be an engineless Lightship.

Matt they aint that cheap not much change from 14 grand I'm sure we could buy something a bit better than a Albanian built Jalopy with defunct Renault and Datsun parts

Renault believe they are on a winner with the Duster and the Sandero and in India alone their dealerships have grown from 14 to 49 in the last couple of years where these two models are their mainstay.

Then again the roads in India probably warrant the likes of a 4X4 so the Duster is bound to go down well there.

Where I live, weather conditions and tides can make our roads impassable at times to normal 2X4s so the chance of buying a 4X4 at a reasonable price is just too good to miss.

Hi Snowy, Yes Tonka Toy is rather a good description.

We had a test drive and loved it. So we have ordered ours.
We are going for the metalic lighter blue. They do a dark, almost black type blue as well.

We have also ordered some extras. All we have to do now is wait.

I don't know about Inverary, but there has been no snow here and although there has been a biting cold wind up until yesterday, it is mostly blue skies and sunshine with just the occasional passing shower of light snow.

We have had better weather this winter than we got last summer!

We cannot get away yet as I am still tied up as an executor to a friends estate and there is still much needing sorted out.

Such is life.
