I can't find the orange one now.

We're off to Stansted tomorrow where one garage has 3 manual and 2 soft touch on their forecourt.  Hopefully come home with one.

Hmmm modded is no good for her with 6 months driving.

An Devon is a way to go... Especially as she's just told me she doesn't wanna foot stansted which is one hour away. Devon is 4.

It is a lovely looking one though. Shame.

that pulse forfour is low mileage according to age and mileage it should have done.
id expect a diesel to do a minimum 20,000 miles a year, so a 7 year old car should have done 140,000 miles so at 120k its low mileage!

...and I would say that 10k miles a year is average for a small car so 20k a year is high mileage!!

Yes a lot of diesels are high milage, for obvious economic reasons, if you do a big milage it is the way to go.

Unless I am away, such as now, the Brabus does at least 2,000 miles a month, sometimes more. 

Little Miss Duncs Diesel does about 50 a week, in our house hold, they are the "wrong way round"
