        The correct answer is both; Banger for during the week and parking at the station. Posh classic car for weekends and holidays. Zero depreciation all round.

              I realise for some of you, the less than grand and the less than a years income are the same thing.

                I'm beginning to think thats the way forward for me too.

                Any suggestions on a cheap, reliable piece of tulip for the train station?

                    If I do drive a car to the clients, I have one specially for the task, looks like <10000, but drives >100000.
