Good bye JZB802.

34500kms, thats what I ended up doing in the Peugeot. Finally sold it last month. True lost cost motoring. Bought cheaply, fairly economical, serviced it cheaply myself, sold it.
It wasnt even a bad car. The lack of a rev-counter and AC annoyed, the lack of ABS terrified (in winter.) What the light weight gave, the soft suspension took away but it was possible to have a decent drive. Allowing for understeer and squidge, learning that it simply was not going to go exactly were you pointed it, it was even possible to cross roundabouts rapidly. But in the end it was boring and I kept it 18months, which is about average for me, and I didnt feel like paying to change the cambelt, so it had to go...

Whats the best thing about selling a car? Well you get to buy another one of course!
