Me and the Esprit? Oh you mean for Laura...

Might take you up on that
Laura basically isn't bothered about it, she thinks I'm being stupid swapping a fully working nice car for one she doesn't like the look of that needs work, but accepts that it's inevitable.... She knows me well
She didn't like the 924 until it took her on holiday to France and back without major problems, been 3 times now and planning a 4th, she likes them now.
She also likes that I'm not a polisher of cars so she can load it with sh*t for the tip or bags of compost and so on. Not sure the Esprit will be much cop for that though!
She'll come round once she drives it...
