Most of my mates have at some point splashed out on a late model car and had some really big bills, except one who bought a Mk4 Escort off me for £250 in Feb 2005 and it keeps passing MOTs. I don't get any grief from mates whatsoever.

I am obviously very fortunate. My friends are either all car nuts who see nothing wrong with any old tat, or people who just don't seem bothered what I drive. My wife was a bit dubious about my Sherpa minibus but loved my Golf Mk1, she doesn't mind the Herald either. Mind you, she's happy to pillion on an XTZ750 monster trail bike. Truly I am a lucky bloke. Of course, I have a modern daily driver these days, a 2001 Polo 1.4tdi. But before I got it I never got anyone suggesting I buy a modern car. I guess as a 1960 Herald 948 owner I would have said "But the Golf IS a modern car".
