Re: Oh the shame!!
Well just back from a trip to Guildford - there is a DEFINITE difference to how you are percieved by other road users!
Several times I had people trying to overtake me, even though I was keeping up with the traffic and driving as I would normally drive! People just assume youre some doddering old git!
Drivewise - not bad at all, a bit lumbering and wallowing as you would expect, but very comfatable - quite regal in fact!

Ah, alright, it's a pile of crap and smells of pissy pants and rotting flesh!
Definitely senility - it has always been an ambition of mine to drive a Vulva estate mind you!

Re: Oh the shame!!
We sold our car whilst it still had some dealers warranty left on it, ready for our move. Trouble is we haven't even put in for the visa yet . Currently borrowing my FIL's L reg vauxhall astra, with it's red tailgate and blue body. I have taken to walking more as I find I get there quicker and I can't stand the smug looks from the robin reliant drivers

Re: Oh the shame!!
I haven't actually been out on the roads in it yet, but am venturing into Guildford later. Should be an interesting experience to see how other drivers react!
Am thinking it kinda gives me the 'Loveable Rogue antique dealer' look - think Lovejoy and the like!

shouldn't think anyone would notice. I got a Volvo 440 for a run-around prior to coming here mine also stank of "Clan" pipe tobacco and dogs. Sold mine for a 100 quid and it is still going strong had to buy new air freshner first though.John
