BMW on the bucket list

Hankering after one of Bavaria's finest...

Au revoir to the Peugeot 206

THIS week, it was farewell to my Peugeot 206 XSi. 

After the way it disintegrated right in front of my own eyes, it soon become a car that was beyond economic repair. To put everything right would have ended up costing more than the car's worth. More so that problems followed after another. It was putting a strain on my wallet, I had to get rid of the 206.

Despite the problems that developed after around 18 months of owning it. The 206 XSi was a sweet looking motor, that was quick and a hoot to drive.

The car's been sold (for spares or repair) to someone who wanted a project car. With time and money to put it back on the road - which is where the car belongs. It was collected on a trailer, and has hopefully gone to a good home.

I'm relieved that the Peugeot's gone, otherwise it would have just been sat in the back yard. Quietly rotting away and falling apart - more so since I got that Ford Focus nearly two months ago. No car deserves that.

Now it's gone, I'm going to miss that car though. I've had some fun with it.

Fancy a change

Going on the hunt for the next Definitely Motoring fleet car...

Deux Zero Six

Now the Ford Ka has gone and here's the new arrival in the Definitely Motoring fleet.

Going, going...GONE!!

Change undergoing in the Definitely Motoring fleet as the Ford Ka parts company.

The hunt continues...

The time really is coming for the next car...

Snap it up while you can!

Cheap, genuine motors don't hang around on sale for long as I learnt first hand.

Next car on the horizon

Change in circumstances could mean change of wheels in the near future...

The next car... RE-VISITED!

Action plan set up concerning my car and what will get me back on the road.

I HAVE decided to keep the fickle Ford Ka - but this will only be temporary. I really do think that my car can have a future. I believe it should be in the hands of someone who wants a project car and give it some TLC. I am strongly against the idea of it going to scrapyard. Then being squashed by the claws of the crusher.

Why am I keeping it? Well I am a young driver and this will help me build up my years no claim. I'm getting rid of it when my insurance renewal is due. In turn, this will help me when buying the next car. Making it cheaper to insure the next motor. Besides that, I have decided that it may as well be worth repairing the Ka. This is so I can get my money back when selling, then putting it towards purchasing my next set of wheels.

It's certain I will be relieved when I've flogged the old Ka. Being my first car, I have loved it having worn rose-tinted spectacles. I will miss it and look back at it; with fond memories in the years to come with the "my first car" conversations I'll have. I can guarantee you that.

What will my next car be? Well that remains to be seen. The new car will be here on Definitely Motoring in the near future...

The next car…

I am on the look for a replacement for the old Ford Ka in the Definitely Motoring fleet…
