Awesome!

Points to note based on my Cousin's experiences of having 2 x brand new ones of these..

1. Clutch failure after 18000 miles (happened on one car, and replaced under warrenty with no further issues)

2. Brakes not being fully operational- again fixed under warrenty. They must have been bad if they were not pulling up something ths light properly..

Be interesting to see a cost comparison between What it'd have cost to continue to run Helga (insurance/tax/fuel/servicing/MOT) vs the cost of running the new car (Insurance/tax/Fuel/Servicing/repayments)

To see how long it take for you to be in the clear..may be worth including depreciation?

I know you're an IT type fella, so your 1337 skillz in excel should make that easily doable!
