The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Good morning all. Could be an expensive day today. Going to Chester to have a look a cars for my wife. We've seen a Nissan Juke yesterday which looks ok so my wife will test drive it today to see how it feels. It is a bit bigger than the Renault Twingo she drives at present. At least it is not raining.

I don't fit in the drivers seat of my daughter's Puke, so I can't tell you what it drives like!

Morning all.
I am retired on medical grounds due to a visual impairment meaning I can no longer drive, tricky when you're a mechanic who lives 170 miles away from work!!!
Financially we're OK, my wife works and I get a small pension plus disability benefits.
I spend my days walking the dog, housework, cooking and general pottering about. Starting to get out on a bike now to get fit after losing quite a bit of weight around 7st folling kidney failure, dialysis and a transplant.
My eyesight means I spend more time riding off rd at the moment until my confidence and fitness improve, luckily I have a few good places near me to ride. Well that's the rambling intro over time to get the hoover out. My life is so rock & roll

Welcome

We looked at a Juke but the boot was not big enough for my needs. Is it bigger than the Twingo?
