New wheels in the Dizzo Houshold

We both have our own cars.  Mr D's was a Nissan Note and it was older than mine (13 years old) and he's had it since it was new, it's been an amazingly reliable servant.  However, now he is driving a lot more miles for work, we have been talking about replacing it on and off for a few months now, as the poor thing is starting to show it's age.

In the last six months, it's been in and out of the garage for niggly little issues, but when they are added up, they no doubt cost more than the car was worth.  So a week ago, we started talking more seriously about a replacement.  Probably need to look at doing it in the new year we said.

Then on Friday, Mr D saw a car he liked on the website of a dealership in the village that has an excellent reputation.  On Saturday we went to look at it.  On Sunday, we sorted out the finance.

On Monday, we got the nod.

This afternoon, Mr D said a fond farewell to his old friend, and we welcomed this new beast (NIssan Qashqai) into our lives...




Apparently Mr D has called it 'Chonky'.
If it means that Mr D is driving on the motorway every day in a bigger, safer and more reliable car, I'll call it whatever he wants!  :D
