I've retired my trusty old Ford Sierra & taken the plunge with a Toyota Estima MPV :)
Nothing wrong with the Sierra, it was (& still is) a fab car - it just wasnt big enough to carry all the C5alive stuff to the shows etc.
My neighbour has bought it, so I can still keep ane eye on it 8)
Estima's are great ;D
We've got one and they are so handy for carrying stuff around ... aswell as the kids :D
If you ever need Estima advice check out www.estimaowners.com (http://www.estimaowners.com) Home of the Toyota Estima owners club. Got some very knowledgeable people on there.
And for servicing, Bob certainly knows his
stuff http://www.rcmvr.co.uk/ (http://www.rcmvr.co.uk/). He's also the person that helped build the jet dragster on Scrapheap Challenge ;D
I'm a member, although i haven't posted for ages .. too many forums :D

Those are some very useful links there daz, cheers mate - most appreciated ;)
I was a bit worried about the cost of running the thing....Halfords quoted me £90 for a pair of wiper blades :o :o :o....my local Toyota dealer was considerably less at £40 - but it's still a bit shocking !
Those links suggest using the right people will save me a few pennies, so when we meet up at one of the meetings the beer's on me mate 8).
didnt no your other job was a mini cab driver karl :D ;D
Cheers Karl ;D
Even though Bob's based in Essex we had him come to ours in Sawtry and he did a full service, and fitted a rear fog light all for a very good price.
He's also the chairperson of the owners club.
So you haven't tried running on veg yet then :D
( saying that. we're still yet to give it a go )
Best see about getting myself a C5 and get along to a meet :)

That was one of the reasons I went for a diesel as I want to "make my own fuel".
Now it's just a case of having the bottle to do it ;D, guess I'm a bit nervous it will all go bang and cost huge amounts of beer tokens to put right so i'm checking things out first 8)
