Ive banked the memories and the good times, remember how I got this money... Life is too short.
do to regret a second of it but now it's time to knuckle down n grow up
But when I park it outside my own house it will be worth it :) I figured I had to go for something really different. I fancied a navara but the more I spend on a car the less I've got for a house so cheap n cheerful it is.
Well this is where the story comes to an end.
It started here

16 Months
7,500 miles
14 MPG average including 1200 miles of french motorways so id say 11/12MPG...
I'll think I'll be selling it back to my dealer. They have been after it back and I don't fancy private deals where getting on for 40k is involved.
Test drives, finance etc etc
no idea yet not thought about it. Trying not to. She's not going anywhere until April I don't think
Just had the front bumper resprayed to loose the stone chips. 2 new O2 sensors as the emissions light flashed on every so often. New air filter.
just a wheel refurb to do and I can start to think about selling :( 18months of joy will come to an end and be replaced with 25 years of mortgage...
Ive said to myself ill be OK with losing 10k over my ownership in depreciation, seems a lot but i knew what i was getting in to, and i paid a premium to get it from a main dealer.
My bro is a Nissan tech.. win :D
No idea, was covered under warranty
Ive not included tax and insurance in...
Shes wil be kicking around until April at least, then ill likely sell it back to the dealer or another dealer, that seems to be the protocol with this sort of thing, i dont really fancy dealing with the sale of something involving that kind of money on my own.
But i dont want to think about...
I was only keeping it 12 months.. That was the plan but I can't bear to part with it just yet so I've said the spring.
So I have until then to Eaither win the lottery, be given a house or kill off my remaining parent.
A year in the life of Aston ownership
Well its now been exactly a year sinse i shook the salesman's hand and left a deposit on this car, so i thought id put together a little bit of a write up of what its been like over the last 12 months.
I started looking, and originally wanted a grey or...
I imagine Houx will be fully booked by now?
we are minus 1 in this years group, no time for dick heads so we lost her :P althhough our group seems to grow and grow each year.
This year i met some people who live just round the corner, madness.
I tell you what it will be odd cheering the new comers not Audi for the 1st time.
I belive our deposit has been paid, in true fashion i owe rich money for this. Also no idea what car ill be taking, i dont want to take the aston again if im honest
I dont think ive mentioned this ex much on here actually. Maybe the recent one but this guy dissapreared a good while ago. Just a reason for wanting to do things the way i want to.
Im thinking keep it simple and go with the Polo engine, can pick up a full car for cheaps. :D
i want it to be a normal drive, i want to be able to drive it to work, to see my bro down south etc.
When i drove it to my garage i lost 2nd gear and my indicators...and thats 4 miles from my house lol
