with sad regret

today, just done a 600 mile round trip, with an hours stop, car was fantastic, no aches an pains.

anyway, the whole trip cost me around a £100.00 in petrol. so i had 12 hours to think things through, now i visit my children as often as i can, but would like to visit them more, but the cost of petrol, for each visit which is around a £100.00. now i know if i was in a saloon car, with slightly smaller engine, less weight, and better through the air that a fronty, i could save myself £40.00 per trip, which means going more often would be easier to see them.

So i have sat and thought for 12 hours today, that im going to go back to a normal car, with the money i have to spend. and not a fronty. but if its all right with you guys, i will still come on here, and give what advice i know, and just to say hi and see how things are going.

i worked it out, and i could see my children and extra 4 times a year, with the money saved, on petrol.

Hey sean ....it doesn't mater what you buy ......you're always welcome on here

Ditto

cheers guys, ist the economics of the thing....now where did i get a big word like that from, thinking to much i guess, lol

its just i live 280 miles away from my 3 girls, and i would like to be up there more.

sean

Family first :wink:

You know you are always welcome here. You better still be coming to GWR?

You are doing the proper thing mate! The children come long before the fronty.

Its a no brainer mate.

Just dont loose touch here, its not all about the cars.

i wont leave here, some good stuff, goes on here, been here over a yar now, and yes i will be a gwr one way or another...happy to support you guys, you have done me proud over last year.
anyway, still a fronty owner, mine has not gone yet. :lol:

if i can find storage, might just keep it, and fix it for some fun days.

sean

Sorry Mate,

I have had a few tinnies.....But my recommendation would be to look for a diesel whether it is a front or not.

Huw

nice to hear your staying around sean,i would miss our quickies over pm,s

seans my friend when he pm,s me

or you could keep it and move closer to the kids, :wink:

good luck with what ever you decide,

Or use the coach or train, get a rail card and save 1/3

Only one thought..

Keep the Fronty and move closer!!

Do what you need to do, children are far more important than cars... or alternatively get yourself a 2.8 TDI and you might find that you spend less than a smaller engined petrol car?

(personally at the moment I'm trying to get myself a cheap 2.0 auto Omega for running around!)

Children always come first and selling the Fronty must have been a hard decision.

Another victim of the Government robbers bleeding us dry!!

:cry:
