Default The driveway of joy is no more :(

Sad to see it go, but the new owner of my D2 has driven off into the sunset. Really enjoyed having it around, but with the dog it just had to go unfortunately.

Couldn't you find a D2 Avant in time?

Unfortunately the D2 has been replaced with an Espace It does the job, but it's just a big box on wheels.

Couldn't get a decent A6 Avant (A4 was jsut too small) for decent money. The D3 looks all lonely on the drive now.
