The Kuga, now 13 years old, has sailed off to a new home - in typical 'can you help please dad?' fashion, I was the one who valeted it - three years of family life can be quite a challenge to remove - then when a potential buyer came to view it, it clashed with she and my son-in-law going for an anniversary meal, so I next question was, "can you sell it please dad?". Probably just as well - the buyer brought her dad who was an ex Audi mechanic and went over it with a fine tooth comb and picked up on all the marks I'd worked so hard to disguise 
and he probably would have got my daughter paying him to take it away! - anyway, out on my best salesman head and it's gone without a penny chipped off the price they'd agreed on Facebook.
New car is a 2015 Fiat 500X - not what I would have chosen but it looks smart enough with some natty black trim and nice wheels and bought proper 21st Century style - ordered on line from a dealer 130 miles away who sent a video walkaround, paid for by smart phone and will be delivered next week with 7 days to send it back. Sounded like a good salesman too - I guess this is the way things will go post pandemic.
