__________________
2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions, ski hatch retrofit; extended leather. Aftermarket DVB-T, reversing camera and full XCarlink (Bluetooth etc.).
2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (A much rarer model than a D2 S8 by the way!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Thanks Mike, I have looked at the owners meets listing on the forum but only see Scotland (and that doesn't fit with my timings) or Germany, which I may be able to do. I just may need a co-pilot if the 'The Boss' is not able to make it.

or Laz-Avus I have to admit I am calling it the 'Barn Find' at the moment.

I spoke to the Boss about the name calling

So:

Barn Find
Bertie Barnfind
FE-Nix - have to agree with Tintin - not an FE? Could have FE-NOX if it was running Nitrous, anybody tried?
Laz-Avus

She rolled her eyes and walked away shaking her head.

in that case my car should be called:

"a loyal housewife unappreciated by her last 5 partners and 20 years of marriage... finally found a man in his late 20's who will spend any amount to keep her happy and going 2.8 Quattro"
