New car in the F Body Garage.

[F Body]

Well Senior F Body Kid has surprised me by getting herself some new wheels
Even if she did sell "our" trusty Panda

OK lets get the bad things out of he way first

It's a Vauxhall and called "Adam"

Now she test drove lots of different cars, but much to my surprise, she wanted this car with some very specific options, the bottom is painted "Purple Fiction" and the top, mirrors and front grill bar are painted "White My Fire"
Yes they really are the names

Although Senior F Body Kid has shown little interest in cars for the last few years ( unlike Junior F Body Kid ), she seems to be a Closet Petrolhead

NB : Given a good old my yours truly this morning

1.4 Petrol engine so it goes OK :

With the life time 100,000 mile warranty

[Incursus]

Well that takes over from the Mini Paceman as the ugliest car I've seen this year!... or ever for that matter.  

Each to their own though

[Andy]

Congrats to senior on the new car, but... Woah, that's some pretty far out styling. I'm sure they said the same about the original Ka and that kinda ages well. Guess we'll be seeing lots more of these bopping around soon though.

Pretty funky the interior, liking the matching key too, that is smart!

[Roadkill]

That's one f*cking ugly "car".

Vauxhall's rip-off of the Fiat 500 ?

[art b]

sort of funky ....but a bit ott...

Well she works hard and doesn't drink...........much or smoke, so if that's what she wants to spend her money on

i didnt imply that she shouldnt spend her hard earned on a funky car or what ever else she likes...

but i do think that buying a brand new car is a great way to spunk money,

i spoke to someone who lost £7k on a new mini in depreciation,
when they came to sell or exchange it...

but i do think that buying a brand new car is a great way to spunk money,

Especially as a new driver.

My first car was £50.  It didn't matter if I dented that.
