with sad regret

[Silver Ghost]

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.

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

[brachunky]

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

[alex]

Its a no brainer mate.

[Silver Ghost]

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.

or you could keep it and move closer to the kids,
good luck with what ever you decide,

[nitromotor]

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

[rangaKoo]

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!)

[madchef]

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

Another victim of the Government robbers bleeding us dry!!
