Bugger knows! Unorthodox? Certainly not one of the sheeple.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
'He's not one of the sheeple Mavis is he'.....

Absolutely - but the chances of finding another one with such low mileage is pretty much zero.

I have no idea - I'm dreading the day.

-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Sublime. Nothing compares to the Hovercraft like ride. I've not driven anything that comes even close to it on a Motorway.
What's it like to park?
Easy - but be careful of the out of sight front corners.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
20k later no serious issues. I replaced all the spheres when I got it.
What's most practical about your car?
Space - economy - comfort.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Very well equipped car. My favourite though is the Ebespacher heater for freezing mornings. Has the car defrosted and the engine warmed up in less than five minutes whilst idling :-)
