:)Hi all, well on Friday I called at a showroom and picked out the Vaxhall Zarfira all the other types had a small boot , the man cant order it until I find out the name of the adaption I need , steering wheel ball, and automatic, and this is the killer,Electronic Trigger Accelerator And Brake cost £537.00 the man asked if I might go for the push and pull at £0.00 but I tried this out and was in great pain, going to ring assessment centre on monday to find out whats it called.
cant wait untill order for the car is under way, gives me time for the driving lessons.

Great Mike, I hope you'll like it. I had a Vauhall Zafira for 3 years and it used an awful lot of petrol, have you gone for the deisel model. That does give you better consumption.0

That's the only thing I found with my Vauxhall Zafira, heavy on petrol, but it's a large car and very heavy, so I suppose that's why.0

Well done Mike. It won't be long before you have it.

Hi Janie
Hope you like it - I heard it is a very safe car in the event of any accident.
MIKE!!!!
What colour did you choose??
Love
Toni x0 -
Yes what colour Mike?
I'm going for magenta red if I'm allowed by motability, as some colours are not available. My hubby is mortified by the colour I want!
Janie0 -
Sorrry that I have not repiled sooner but busy doing learning my theroy . I wanted red but the fellow said motability dont allow that colour so I picked a nice cobalt blue its lovely , tomorrow have to fax off a untilty bill and find out what the adaption is called I need , the man in the showroom looked at his sheet and says they cost from £800.00 up but I looked at motabilty web site and one there if its the right one , its only £180.00
if its too dear might just have to go with push and pull although at the assessment it give a great pain across chest, I want this car.

Hi Janie,
