Just had to share with everyone my joy with my new car. I have had a Company Car for over 25 years
and because I have been off sick I had to give my lovely Maxda 3Tdi back today - boo hoo.

However drove away my own new car yesterday which is an automatic (so much easier for me) which
is the new Citroen DS3 1.6 two tone grey with maroon roof. It is lovely but will take me a little while
to get used to keeping me left hand on the wheel - ha ha.

My Son and Daughter both tell me though that it is bit 'young' for a 56 yr old. Cheeky monkey.

BigGrin ThumpUp enjoy it Rose , I've just had a look at it on the net, looks fabulous, really retro, who says you have to be 'young' to own one of those, I may be 56 and the body feels about 90 but in my mind I'm 18 all over again.
Love
Sheila

I love my Auto too. It is so much easier to drive and didn't take long to get used to. I still try to change gear occasionally.

It's a Nissan Micra (new rounded shape). I initially refused to buy it because it was grey but I had two natty pink stripes put over from bonnet to boot. Very classy for a 45 yr old! It's only a 1.2 but nips about lovely!

Emjoy your new car. Cool
