It's been a while....
 
....since I posted a thread on here.

I have upgraded my Chrysler 300c CDT SRT Design 2010 to a ........
Kia Picanto 1.1 2005 @£650 :D

Mind you, I now owe the finance company £4000 for taking the Chrysler back :eek:

TBH its like the Dr's Tardis. Small on the outside but very roomy front and back in the cabin. I am still looking for the cruse control switch and the heated seats button :D

I must admit its a great little car for the miles I do ( up to 2K a year social only ) and a blast to drive :driving:

And of course, in black ;) and £20 fills the tank just over half way from empty.

Happiness is in the eye of the beholder and I still have a roof over my head.

My Harley Davidson has a bigger engine at 1600cc and gives me the thrills when needed.

Take care all and be happy :cool:

:eek: You could have kept the 300C and made a Russian doll structure but with cars. :D

I find the same with our Corsa - it has loads of room and even cruise control! :}

Thanks Bob. I liked the look of the 75 auto with the optional meteors that is currently withdrawn but as you know it takes a bit of charge to turn these diesels over and for the short trips I do doesn't give the alternator a chance to replace the charge. Don't have a garage with electricity so a trickle charger is out of the question and I tried the solar ones with not much luck. Used a heavy duty jump starter the old one when needed with a jump start pack but you end up going through batteries after a while.
Take care:}

Hi Jay £4000 to pay back ouch.

Kia isn't a bad wee motor and will be a lot cheaper to run than the 300c.
