Get the front wheel on one of those tar expansion lines that go down the road instead of across, and the wheel wobbles alarmingly.

Does anyone still go over to Europe to get a new car more cheaply?
Lots of websites that do the import for you and offer several thousand pound discounts vs list price.

Nice car Ray. I like the Mazda's, and they are sensible prices. The only thing that spoils it for me is the communication panel stuck up in the middle of the dash, but I guess you get use to it.

That seems to be the current trend with many current new models.

Already creating a problem with granddaughter because we can't get Peppa Pig on it :)

BTW got 25% more on Auto Trader for the old car than the best trade in offer :thumbup:

Good choice, I like the thinking. ( A burnt orange Seat Atteca-ish has equal merit methinks )

ps .... don't drive it into Hayes Museum at Sparkford, tis very similar to QB's pic :wave:
