Have wheels, will travel...




After much searching, we are now the proud owners of a 2006 Peugeot Partner Combi that we have yet to name. It's a 1.9L Diesel, and doesn't exactly come stacked with luxury, but she's perfect for the task in hand with her very low mileage, full service history, and previous owner who works in the spares department of a Peugeot Main Dealer, so she's been well looked after.

The interior is a bit grubby, as he had a filthy toddler, but nothing a squirt of carpet cleaner and some elbow grease won't fix. Either that or a valet! And his wife had a little rub against a trolly park in Tesco's so the drivers door has a small dent, but other than that, it's in pretty good shape. Italian drivers will soon change that I'm sure!

On board, Rhett has centre stage in the back, and is easily accessible via the dual sliding rear doors, and up front, theres enough headroom for me and Twinkle to wear top hats should we choose. There are all sorts of clever storage ideas, with cubby-holes in the floorpan behind the front seats, and a sliding draw under the passenger seat for hiding chocolate bars or maps. The boot is like a small cathedral, and the seats roll up to turn the back into our own personal removal truck.

Naming suggestions please!
