Yes I know he can have what he wants but

It's a really old car . Cost £500. R reg Toyota.

It's a little work horse of a car. Carts us all around the uk, Wales and Scotland.

Sails through its MoT

Doesn't seem to mind when colonel blimp gives it the occasional bash as he's manoeuvring it about a bit.

So it needs a new exhaust system and it's a bit noisy and it probably wouldn't pass this years Mot . So he'd have to buy a new system about £400.

I think spend that money and get it done and we will still have a great car. We've had it about 3-4 years now.

But he wants to spend £6000 on another second hand car and it probably won't be a Toyota. I love Toyotas.

I was nearly crying when the previa got carted off years ago. It had seen us all around France many times as well as the uk, Scotland and so on.

I think better the devil you know .

Actually, he's been a long time going to the supermarket.

I think he's sneaked off to have a nose round the dealerships.

I'm going to watch for him when he comes in.

See if he looks a bit shifty.
