I’m increasingly looking at robust petrol and diesel cars around 20 years old particularly German and Japanese. A big Toyota is my current plan, maybe a Landcruiser.

The brand new electric and hybrid vehicles are just not feasible.

Anything older would do, maybe get a station wagon?
The new cars are nightmares to work on, you need all these gadgets to plug into the ecu.

Yes that’s right . I need a car with space for surfboards and kids. What people have told me about brand new cars sounds like a nightmare as you say.

But the elegance and style it has....if it is number 2, no one can be number 1.
