Stormy Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Had a chat about cars today this time my car. Rob said he feels it's unfair that I have the sporty car and he has the have the car for the dogs. Which now I've calmed down and thought about it really he is right as if wasn't because of me he wouldnt need to. So the only car I will change from mine to is a Honda civic ep3 and we nocked on the door of a guy down our road that has one and asked to look in his boot lol which I'm happy the dogs would fit in. won't happen straight away as they aren't cheap and I need to get the sol sorted to either sell or store away and save up. what you think?

Andy Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Sounds like a good idea. That way no matter what vehicle you're in the dogs can go in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I think the ep3 is a lot nicer car my friend bought one last year but now he wishes he had not because of the fuel cost and insurance very expensive to run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goingsolo Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 As our 2nd vehicle a goldwing 1500 tge car has to fit boys. When I win lottery I can have the lotus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I've wanted an ep3 for about 3 years I love them. Dunc cost wise will be the same as the sol is to run now apart from ever so slightly higher tax but only by about 20 quid. Fuel wise is the same and speed wise will also be around the same. insurance may be a little bit more but I'm not to worried about that. means I'll be able to take the dogs places on my own also which I cannot do at the moment. Doing this means I'm not completely giving up what I love in my car it means I'm compromising for something I will also love which will also be more practical all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Really like them... I would like a sporty car but have the same issue... I'm thinking of going with the mondeo titanium x.

Keeonah Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'm just in the process of buying an LDV mini bus which I'm going to convert. The rear end will be crated out for the dogs and the front will be converted to a camper. Problem, SOLVED. Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 So what your saying is people can't have things on their own property? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Yeah course they can but come on you live in what looks a really nice area and you dump something like that outside your house If it was on this street it would be gone inside a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
