Should I change my car...??

My bf has found me a possible replacement car but I really like my current car even though totally inpractical and doesn't like the potholes in the trail car parks!

As some of you may have seen I currently have an MGTF which I do manage to strap the bike to by way of a nifty Saris rack - the possible alternative is a 6 year old Ford Puma with only 17k on it - more practical but still sporty, what do I do???

Come on girls I need your help!!!!

We had a puma for several years, managed to get two bikes and all our camping gear in it,

I drive a mini, maybe not the most practical car but I love it!

Depends if you want more room or can cope with the room you have.  It's amazing how much you can get into a small car!

Just got a Subaru Impreza WRX SW, 1 year old, 12000 miles, £14,500. So much fun and can still fit loads of bikes and all the camping gear in the back.

Swap a MGTF for a Puma?  You must be mad to even think it

On the surface you would think so, but add in the damage to the paintwork no matter how careful I am with the bike plus all this winter the TF has let the rain in which a couple of times has then frozen on the inside and I wasn't able to open the doors (!) the Puma looks a bit more tempting.....

Plus the cheaper insurance and tax - over £200 to tax the TF for 12 months now thanks to this blood sucking government!

I would go for the Puma, they are good fun to drive,

Decision made - as of the 29th I'm a Puma girl.....

Woohoo, good choice,,  is it a normaly puma or a racing puma?
Show/hide user stats
Nah it's not a racing - I wish!  It's a 1.6 02 reg, one owner from new and only 17k on it.  No more dodgy bike/car arrangement from next Sat!
