I said never...

Today I did something I  had vowed and declared I would never do! I had made a big thing about not doing it, it was a waste of money because you lost too much, it wasn't what "people like me" did, it was so against what I believed in. What did I do you ask?

Well today I bought a new car, yep that's right a brand new car. It had a whole 13 delivery miles on the clock when I picked it up this afternoon. And I also discovered you can pay for a new car with a bank debit card! I have never ever spent this amount in one hit before, and nor am I likely to do it ever again! My new car is thanks to my Mum and Dad as it was their money that paid for it, and the reason I bought a new one is because it made financial sense! 

But, stuff the financial sense, I really like my new car!It's a Dacia Logan MCV and looks like this......


And getting the new car also took me down memory lane to when my Mum and Dad got their first ever car. I don't remember how old I was, but I'm thinking not very. It was my Dad's works car and was a mini traveller and I even remember the number plate EVL 465E. It looked like this one below (courtesy Google..)


I remember going to the seaside, Mablethorpe, in it and it was quite an adventure at the time...

What was the first car you remember?

Until next time

  1. Wow get you! It looks great. Is it big? It looks like a 4x4 and I need one of those as I live in the sticks. I remember my mums Austin A 35 and my dad had a Ford Capri in Nevada Beige. I think that says a lot and he is a bit of a Del Boy. X

  2. My hubby had a Ford Capri when we first got together many long years ago! The new car's not a huge estate, but a reasonable size, and not a 4 by 4 sadly. And does around 60 to the gallon too so I'm very happy and hoping to save some money with it too. KJ x
