My car is old (13), spider infested (or so it appears) and losing it's shine, but it has never let me down on a journey as my husband's Fiesta has (twice).  I happened to be driving when it broke down on Saturday ....... we'd swapped after the coffee stop.  



So we need to reconsider our transport options as we haven't gone our separate ways in the past year.  But ...... his is easier to get child car seats in and has a heated windscreen ...... mine will take a bike (with the back seats out) and has 4 wheel drive.
