New Car!

 
 
You are looking at Hannah & Ben's new baby! They collect it on Friday from JCT 600 at Menston.
 
It is a Seat Ibizia SC se copa Sportrider just under three months old, and after heavy bartering from both Hannah and myself, we have got what we both consider to be a real bargain. £3,000 less than new, with exchange of personal plates, and a £70 cable for bluetooth etc. included in the price, and there may be more - depending if the Smart is worth repairing!

She went out for a test drive in it and was worried to death that she would stall it as it isn't an automatic! The salesman took her to the Harry Ramsden's Car Park, first of all so that she could get used to the clutch, then they went back to Burley and along the by pass to Ilkley, before returning to the garage.
 
We really were a pair of haggling Jews! We not only had the salesman running backwards and forwards, we also had the manager doing the same. Just as Hannah was about to sign up she tried my ploy, "Oh there's just one other thing, before I sign for it, please don't laugh!" 
 
(I was expecting her to demand a huge teddy bear, because once when I went to collect a new car she had seen a car in the showroom with a huge teddy bear in it and was most disappointed that one didn't come with mine!)
 
"I expect a bunch of flowers on the back seat." - and what's more they promised her them!
