I know - I should have just gone for it - refurbed as well!
Don't know about you, but I don't think we have seen the last of this winter. Last week I "borrowed" the wife's Audi quattro which is shod with winter tyres - I can't keep on doing this! Our house is about 50 yards off the public road, up a track only used by farm traffic which at times like these turns into sheet ice. I discovered in Feb that the Maser simply couldn't drive up the track in these conditions - very embarrassing - I had to leave it with a friend until the thaw and walk home!
... hence I need some wheels - the search continues.
