Oh A Bit Sad Today.

[Caran]

We had three cars between us. His MG, our Citroen Zhara and his Mercedes which his best friend left him in his will when he died.
We knew sometime the decision had to be made what had to go.
I will not go in the MG, it is very uncomfortable for me, too low down, I feel every bump and not good for my arthritis.
so he made the decision. He will part exchange his MG. Buy a general runaround I can drive too and get rid of the Citroen. He can't get rid of the Merc due to respect to his late friend, and it's a super car we use for holidays.
So today the new car was delivered and his beloved MG taken in part exchange.
We have swapped one MG for another. We now have an MG ZR160. Which is a hatchback smaller car but still with a sporty engine ( which I didn't know about)
I said to dealers who delivered it from Stoke, he was now a bit old to be a boy racer. She laughed and said all the young ones are buying this car because it's a bit of a racer.
I take ages to get used to a new,(different) car. Had a drive round a big car park for a while then had a drive round. Felt very nervous but hopefully get used to it.

You will get used to it. Even going from a Polo to a Mini took me a bit of time, but not too long.

I got a new (but 2nd hand) one three months ago, and I'm still getting used to it. These hybrids, I don't know....

He's gonna miss his old MG I suspect, Caran. Best of luck with the new boy racer ;-).
I'm sure you'll soon get used to driving it.

The first car I had was a '64 MGB roadster,kept it for 5 years and I felt like the king of the road.Parked next to one the other week in Tesco and it brought back some memories the chief one being How the *** did I get into and out of something like that.
