. Got them to put the front plate on in a more sensible place before I left.zetec02 said:
bit off difference between those two, im always curious as to how a picanto would cope on a motorway for a couple of hours?
Actually holds its own pretty well once it's up to speed - OK it's no cruiser but I've driven worse.wackojacko said:
I take it you didn't retain the plate ? 
Afraid not - please don't tell me you're the one person in the world that it means something to wackojacko said:
well sort of I know a guy that would buy it and make the VV look like a W for Brian Williams Systems
so it'd read "BW SIS"
sort of makes sense
People that misrepresent number plates are cso it'd read "BW SIS"
sort of makes sense
s however I'd have happily have sold it to him if I knew . Waste of a good plate to chav it up to try and make it say something it doesn't though IMO.jsg612 said:
Hope you don't mind me asking, but why the change from a mid-spec few year old Laguna to a base Picanto? Not knocking, I'm always for a new car, just curious. 
The consistent drain on the wallet became too much 
- it had a smack in August which was ruled to be my fault (which it wasn't but hey ho) which raised my insurance premium, high tax, 32MPG, etc. Then there's the repairs etc.The finance for the Picanto (£75pcm on PCP) is paid for by those savings in costs and yet I still save money on top of that, and I'm driving a car with a warranty that I don't need to worry about should something go wrong.

Just noticed your profile it being a 2.0 16v so a thirsty bugger! - it had a smack in August which was ruled to be my fault (which it wasn't but hey ho) which raised my insurance premium, high tax, 32MPG, etc. Then there's the repairs etc.The finance for the Picanto (£75pcm on PCP) is paid for by those savings in costs and yet I still save money on top of that, and I'm driving a car with a warranty that I don't need to worry about should something go wrong.
Can't blame you at all, what an absolute bargain that is for a brand new car. Great deal you have there.
May it bring years of problem free, cost free happy motoring. Good buy!

Fantastic car to waft down the motorway in (maybe not as much as some of the barges on here Can't blame you at all, what an absolute bargain that is for a brand new car. Great deal you have there.

) but just not really sensible - I'm 20 and only work part time since I'm a student.Drive this for a few years, hopefully have a company car after Uni and have something interesting in the garage for the weekend
