[031] Buy a new car

Just for clarification, I mean a new-to-me car. I don’t think there’s much chance of me (ever?) buying a brand new car!

This one happened a lot quicker than I expected! When I wrote the list I had this one down for year two, but here I am 18 days later and I already have a deposit on a lovely 1.7 Honda Civic diesel. That’s about as technical as I can get apart from the fact it is supposed to do 0-62 in 11.5 seconds and has does around 45mpg (apparently…)

It’s also a manual car, I haven’t driven a manual for ages. I had an automatic Renault Scenic for 3 years which was bliss to drive when I had two small children bawling in the back! I drove a manual for a week briefly while my car was off the road so I’m sure it will be fine but I am slightly nervous. I’d post a picture but that would mean faffing about with deleting the numberplate and so on, but that seems slightly silly since it’s hardly an identifying piece of information…

Hmmm

Oh sod it …
