    New shopping trolley for girly, you decide

    Girly wants a new shopping trolley. She complains that the available vehicles are either farm machinery or a bit too much in your face and either way a total bitch to park, attract too much unwanted attention, either too much luggage space so everything rolls around, or non that she can find, very hard to drive, always breaking down and expensive to fill up (where you have to be careful not to choose the pump nearest the shop door or you find yourself blocked in and have you tried reversing that thing around an obstacle?)

    So, after much negotiation, I've made a short list.

    You task, should you choose to accept it, is to vote on what your choice would be in a similar situation.

      Andyw option work for me.

      Be outsourcing all your transporting doings.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Depends on how much shopping she carries, the ford KA is a great run around but has a small boot. The VW Polo is a better all-rounder with bigger boot space.

        They are the only 2 I have had so thats all I can comment on

          How about an Audi A1? Or a SMART?
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              I really can't understand why people have such difficulty parking????

                  Easy for girlie to drive, park anywhere, loads of room for shopping.

                  Hmm.

                  Sorted.

                    Why have one space when you can park badly in two?
