It would be nice to have one, but my lifestyle at the moment wouldnt suit it. But thanks for your input.

Incidently, clio drove like a dream back to exeter, though now shes caked in salt and grit. damn winter driving!

I agree, that if you can't find a tidy example then taking second best would be crazy. FWIW I think it's fair to say that all things being equal, the Focus is a better car (it should be, as it's from the next sector up from the Clio and is priced accordingly) but if you couldn't find decent examples then you made the best choice for you.....the last two words being the most important.
Nice colour, btw.

Totally agree with Jingo - it's about budget not salary. Maybe he just wants to put money away for a rainy day, or a house, or whatever, or doesn't want to spend more than necessary on a car that'll probably end up getting knackered by schoolkids. £1.75 might not matter to you, but that doesn't mean it doesn't matter to someone else.

I'll pop to sainsburys, do some shopping, hose it down, then snap away

incidently, where is the best place now to upload images? I used to use google pages and just link direct to them, but its all changed now. i guess I;ve got my image shack account, but that seems slow and cumbersome!
