Interesting tale of the search for a small car to replace an aging Peugeot:
So It Turns Out The Best Small Car That Isn’t A Fiat 500 Is A Fiat 500 - johnsadventures.com
So we thought it was time for a change.
Something small (because she doesn’t need a big car). Something economical (most small cars can do 40-50mpg easily).
Something with cheap insurance and tax (a lot of small cars have no road tax or a mere £20 a year).
Something that would last (she’d be keeping it for 5 years so didn’t want it to fall apart – ie. be non-French).
Something cheap (no point having cheap running costs if you have to spend a fortune buying the thing).
Something with air conditioning (many cheap cars don’t have it and there’s no way we’d live without it).
Something quirky (preferably a car you sit in and think “I love this car” – although this wasn’t mandatory, just a nice-to-have).
Oh yes, and something that wasn’t a Fiat 500. Cool though Fiat 500s are (she’s always loved them), we thought they were over-priced and therefore discounted them entirely.
I found John’s post, and blog, after trying his awesome John’s Background Switcher which can grab images from many sources — including local Folders, Flickr, Google and more — and compile a wallpaper image for your pc
