We will need it as a utility vehicle when we move house, but that is likely to be a month or so away yet, otherwise it isn't needed as such, it'd just be useful to have a 2nd vehicle on the road. Now it's untaxed it isn't really costing anything asides insurance, and i'd have that anyway so now tomorrow's MOT is cancelled the pressure is off a little bit.

In case you're wondering why out of the 4 cars we have, only 1 is on the road... The AX is for sale and the BX is OTR pending some fairly in-depth preventative maintenance and improvement, so only have the Venga currently road worthy, and that is the OH's car (thank goodness) and all persuasive efforts to change it for something nicer/better/more fun/faster etc have failed. There's nothing wrong with it, infact it's been very reliable over the years. It's just rather boring in most aspects that a car could be! It's not even that economical, we usually get low 50's mpg which is no where near the quoted 62mpg in the handbook. It has been remapped, originally ran @ 99bhp, now 120bhp. Interesting that it was running at 9bhp above quoted figures as standard.
