My next car ... ?

[joggerjayne]

I went to get diesel this morning. There was a lady at the filling station in a FAB car !!

I asked what it was, and it was a "Dodge Nitro".

I LOVE it ... maybe as much as the Land Cruiser.

I might have found my next car.

It's AWESOME !! ... ... I'm in love !!!!!!!

Very nice JJ, what will you go for Silver or Purple ?

[joggerjayne]

I don't really go for colourful cars.

My current cars are grey, and silver.

I'd love a Nitro in silver or black.

[joggerjayne]

Hmm ...

I've just seen it described as a "5 seater"

That's not so good.

My Toyota seats 8 !!

JJ it's horrific. Why? For the love of god, why?

If you want a 4x4 then get one of these:

If you want a muscle car get one of these:

bob ... Land Rovers are too "blokey"

Girls driving Land Rovers look like farmers' wives.

And why would I want a muscle car ???

(although I'd like a "muscle bike" because then I could pretend to be Lara Croft!)

[bobjugs12]

But why get a soft roader?

[joggerjayne]

What is a "soft roader" ?

=0o

[jake-the-peg]

Square with loads of plastic and doubtfully would get stuck the moment the going gets tough.

You don't want people to think that of you do you?

[joggerjayne]

When does the going get tough, jake ??

[redcrx]

ive got one of these as a hirecar whilst my c-max is being repaired

whats a landcruiser like for economy and tax?

[bobjugs12]

A car designed to look like a capable off road vehicle but in reality struggles to mount a kerb.

red ...

My Land Cruiser does about 30 mpg (diesel)

... and carries 8 people.

But the road tax, very unfairly, is £400.

[joggerjayne]

bob ...

I have no intention of mounting any kerbs.

Those alloy wheels cost a bomb to repair if they get scratched.

[redcrx]

its the tax thatd put me off. the cost of fuel should raise enough tax without the need for extra lol

i get 45mpg from my diesel at mo.

[jake-the-peg]

It got tough this winter Jayne - have you forgotten already?

[123everton]

Badly built piece of junk.

[joggerjayne]

That's good, red.

My driving is just "around town" though, which is not economical.

The longest steady runs I do are up to London.

[ChuckFickens]

"U.S. Consumer Reports magazine named the Nitro as one of the "11 worst cars for 2008", along with its sister, the Jeep Liberty."

LOL, good choice :)

[joggerjayne]

Jake ...

Of course I haven't forgotten ... !

I felt very smug when I was one of the few people out and about.

[joggerjayne]

Oh, poop, Chuck ... that's disappointing.

Maybe it will have to be a Hummer, then, LOL

I think I'll keep mine for a while, though.
