So I finally had to sell the X type as I was using the car less and less, plus I could not justify insurance at £2.5k to add the gf to it (as opposed to £300 for myself). The dilemma now being I needed a cheap to insure car which could take all of our young daughters bits n bobs. Mrs had her heart set on a small 4x4 or large diesel BMW. So I did the right thing and bought a Renault Clio sport 172 for the pricely sum of £600. £400 to insure for the both of us and being an exclusive?? it comes with air con and full leather, all in all such a laugh oh and the baby seat fits in the back......will get pictures up when it stops pissing down.

It is not as quick as the jag but it is such a laugh, its the first time in years that I have actually just gone for a drive! Plus it is averaging 36mpg
