Well, we are going to have to make a decision in our house about our cars.  We now have three!! 

I have recently received a promotion at work (not one I really wanted to take at this stage) and part of the package is a work vehicle including running costs, so I will be driving that one to work.  BTW it is a 6 month old (it was the Chief Engineer's vehicle, until he resigned) Ford Ranger XLT Dual Cab, 6 speed auto, 5 cylinder turbo diesel.  We also have the Terracan and i30, of which, Mrs FatBoy can only drive one at a time.

We are thinking that the Terracan will go, and that we will keep the i30 until at least the lease expires (which is only Feb next year), and decide on a course of action from there.

Does anybody want to buy a 2006 Hyundai Terracan SLX 2.9 CRDi with 90,000km?   :whistler:

Thanks, Dave and Dazz.  I received the promotion to Chief Flying Instructor (when CASA approves it) due to the previous CFI passing away from cancer, so you can see why I didn't want the job this soon.  I will be doing about the same amount of flying, and more paperwork.  So more hours at work.

Re the car problem. Why can't Mrs Fatboy drive two cars at once? I though women could multi-task. :mrgreen:
