Yippee ! new car

After a few weeks of not driving as jeremy the jazz had to be sold because he fell apart around me I am back on the road again tomorrow. Just paid a deposit on a very nice 14 year old honda CRV ! So anyone wanting to accuse me of have a 4x4 will now be right, beautiful silver grey colour and I have some floral graphics to put on it when it arrives.

I can see me having a bit of independence again and that'll feel pretty good I didn't realise how much I'd miss driving myself places.


So now have to name the car having a think any ideas welcome but might not be followed

Well done Julie. You have probably bought mine which was written off a few weeks ago, that was 14 years old and silver. If you want the radio/Nav code let me know.

Re: Yippee ! new car

Julie, first, congratulations on your new ( to you) car, I hope you enjoy it, now is it a 4x4, or just an SUV? , if it’s not a true off roader, then it won’t have four wheel drive, so don’t be going on anything too rough...now how about Charlie, for a name, Charlie the crv, has a ring to it don’t you think...?

Never seen the point of a compact recreational vehicle.

The CRV is a true 4x4 and is excellent in snow and on ice. I have never driven mine off road although I have driven through a flood quite easily. They are great vehicles but expensive to repair.

You've had a boy car - how about a girl car now Julie?

Hilda the Honda sounds good.
