Probably a good thing - you wouldn't want blood on the new car's upholstery.

Hope she's OK anyway.

Suggest you check the alloys for any scuff marks.

Nice roomy, Citreon C4 Picasso. 7 Seater. Perfect for the family. Great safety features.

Drove two cars down. One to part-ex and the other family car. My missus was like, 'why take two cars, we'll be coming back in a new one'

'Because' says I in safety thinking 'probably be best not to put both the kids in a car you haven't driven, so lets take two cars, you drive the new one back and I'll take the kids'

So do the swap over, my daughter starts to cry because she wants to go in the new car. So we come back one car each, one child each.

Both pull up in the drive, get out, neighbour comes over and say 'oh nice new car', daughter goes to get out, gets foot stuck in seatbelt, falls headfirst onto concrete and cracks head open and is now on way to A&E with other half for a couple of stitches being driven in the old car as she refuses to get in the new one

Had the new 'safer' car for 7 minutes.
