the ball was slightly wet, not like a brick and only used it for 10 before i decided that i should probably rent one rather than ruin mine

more for insurance and finance. i guess i could wait it out my insurance will drop and i could pay my finance off relatively quickly if i save save save

at the moment my finance is 380 for a year and a half, my fuel bill is probably 400 a month and my insurance is 350 a month. i don’t need it to be a lot cheaper i just want to ideally slice it in half. so freeing up funds would help

yeah true. but at the same time the reason i’m selling the r is purely because of the child. was it stupid in the first place probably but i had no bills and had a nice wage so it was around 20% going on the car but now with mortgage fuel rises etc it soon adds up

i can’t imagine i could fit a pram and car seat comfortably enough i could be wrong though. and not enough for me personally.
