sad day today

[robobone]

well it is that time i thought would be a long way off!!!!

i regret to say that we as the morgan household have sold the mistral and are now the proud owners of a puegeot 406 estate.

the reason being i have to do more miles than i use to and the truck was just not cheap enough to warrant keeping it.

as i say a sad day today but i hope to be around for a while

Hello Robobone, What can i say apart from your right it is a very sad day.

You and your Mistral have been with us since the very near beginning and it is a shame that when we next see you it will be with a Peugeot 406!.

Glad to see you are staying around for a while.

Regards, Mav.

It is a sad day indeed :cry: :cry: :cry:

I guess it will come to us all eventually but I would miss my truck greatly. I was at Ikea today collecting some furniture, wife was unsure that us and the furniture would fit. Proved her wrong and 3 kids + 2 adults (if you call me an adult -rotfl- ) + the furniture no problem. Still got to find another car that would do that 8) .

Anyway hope you stay around for a long time to come Tony, you got some real mates on here buddy :smile:

well tony what can i say its been a pleasure to know you
you have give us some great times bowling, rallys tulip ect ect
look after ya self mate from all the tubbs family

To be fair mate, what with fuel prices and car tax, its amazing the rest of us are still here. I have been tempted my self, but I just love the 4x4 thing. Luckily my wife works from home and I work 5 miles away so ride to work on a 125 bike.
Perhaps you could get a cheap one as a toy :wink:

I too have sold my T2 and bought an 02 peugeot 406 hdi.
I have become sad and depressed, mrs drivewasher has told me to buck up and shape up. So I'm selling this much hated 406 i jumped into buying on the rebound

Very sad,i haven't had the pleasure of meeting you yet robobone! But with rising fuel and road tax,you are doing the right thing!!(Government claims another innocent victim!) :evil:
Hope to still see you at the Rally :wink: :lol:

[DIXIE]

This government stays in power much longer we will not be able to afford a push bike never mind change the car. But never mind they are all right jack all got their snots in the trough.

[Boggert]

It would feel fine to buy a cheaper car now, but I know I would regret it very quickly, I'll hold on to my T2 for as long as possible, and even then you'll have to take the keys out of my clenched fist with a screaming adult attached! :lol:
The only way I can see me having to get rid if my T2 is..

I move to Czech, which could happen, but I'll buy another when I move there...
Its written off.... and I'll get another anyway
Or The goverment bans 4x4... which could happen by the way things are going.

Other than that she is paid for and we don't do too many miles in her.

I m sure your 406 pug will hold as much as the t2, I like big pugs having owned both 504 and 505 estates and my no 1 son has been running a 405 mi16 for some years. Before the t2 I had a nissan premera estate wonder full car I did 205000 miles in it and it was so smooth and flexible, walking pace to over 90mph in third and it was still going strong when I sold it, the engine never touched and using no oil. It was to be replaced by a 406 estate but on holiday in cyprus we hired a terrano and we both fell in love with the high seating and ease of sliding into the seats (we are both tall) I still sometime wonder if I did the right thing, 50mpg vers 30 mpg but I dont have to use it alot being retired and in walking distance of asda, town center, main line railway station and have our bus passes which from 1st april can be used throughout England. local buses only so it would take some time to visit our son in Bournemouth :roll: Enjoy your new 406 I hope you have picked a good one and you can always come back to the fold....regards...bri :smile:
