Horses the way to go
Just took the plunge ... bought a new Nissan NP 200 1.6 baseline for the business they were discounting by 10 g's , the old Opel was on its way out ... 16 years of good service .. take delivery tomorrow , pat the old car as trade in .. shed a tear and thank her for many good years of faithful service .. 16_1_231
Sigh! Opel Kadett Cub,,,,, my first out of the box car, back in 92........ that beast was full of memories....
