Toying with the idea

[granters]

Get a free works van like I did! Costs me zilch a month.

The last few months I've been getting the train. Costs me 130 a month. Given the hassle I looked at a wee runaround and works out similar cost wise.

we were a one car family when I handed back the company motor and golf was a royal pain to get to as the Mrs was always out somewhere.

do it man

Naw, its a 1 series that I've seen. Reliable and get a set of sticks in the boot with the driver out. Going for a test drive later on.

Liked the drive etc. Should be a done deal depending on a couple of things.

What engine, spec etc? Have been toying with the idea of a 1 Series or an Audi A1 for a few months now. I don't NEED a new car, but, you know........

HID has a 118d, loves it,50mpg, £30 /year road tax, never tried the clubs in it though.

I've never been able to get my cart bag into my sisters 1 series boot horizontally, always had to put one of the seats down.

I've just bought a 120d Sport. Bag goes in the boot ok but gotta take the woods out. Excellent motor though.

I took on Sky sports for 4 months as they offered me a half price deal.
Rang up to cancel it yesterday and realised that I had only used it once [to watch the second half of the Edinburgh derby] in the last 8 days.

No brainer to me.

Cheers, Scott1505 on here also assures me that the clubs fit minus the woods. I also have no issues in folding down the back seat(s)if required. Its not exactly a motor for four of you to go golfing in anyway. Still teasing myself. Not signed any paperwork or order forms yet.

Its only £20 a month. I thought it was more expensive than that. I can save that elsewhere comfortably. I'm going to do an economy drive with my DD's and general outgoings over the next couple of days. That said I think I'll phone Sky and see what deals if any I can get to reduce my Sky bills/package.

I have a 120d, considering changing it for something cheaper, I just spent £400 on 2 tyres today

Needs front brake pads too another £300 bill

Love the car but daft running costs for something that does 4k a year at most

I assume that's stealership prices! You can get new pads online for less than £20. Any independent garage will fit them for an hours labour.
