I had to google it. Looks like a Mazda CX3.
But it has more hoss power. (My missus isn't interested in cars, she's an MX5 fan, but only because the gearbox is 'cute'....so she's had three). So I chose the Purosangue as a fine example of all the £££ and no idea of what they're buying. :lol:

No New Years resolution here, if I did while at work my wife would be truly minted, the death at work benefits are worth more than my pension, she appears to have retired at 35 (19 years ago)

If you want the turkey with all the trimmings, they're over £400k. :D

It's probably a manageable £6,000 per month on PCP!

For...a car. :lol: These days all I really ask of a daily driver is 1) be reliable 2) have a local dealer/service centre 3) be just reasonably sprightly but comfy. :thumbup:

This year I've decided to do my bit for the climate emergency. I'm sure King Charles and all the other climate evangelists will be cutting back so I'm going to limit myself to no more than one private jet flight for the year.

My intention is to say more things over and over again in a funny voice.

Also to mutter incomprehensibly in French, yet with sufficient clarity to make the listener aware I am annoyed about something. Like at the start of Jefferson Airplane's Somebody to Love.

I don't make NY resolutions.

But last night was a gentle reminder to stop a glass or two earlier ...
