After being told by the Finnish equivalent of the DVLA that I can't build the V-Storm (as any kit car needs to be 51% based on a donor vehicle) I have decided to pump the cash into an upgrade of the current family wagon - a 2 year old Nissan Qashqai 2.0l 2+2.
After finally talking her into accepting we don't really need 7 seats, and don't use the bigger boot anymore as the kids can use a small 3 wheel pushchair jobbie - I had a free choice of motor, albeit a SUV type thing.
So 4 weeks ago I put my order in (thankfully there was one on its way here with the right spec and colour, otherwise it was a 7 month wait)...and picked it up last Saturday.
Changed the wheels for some 22" jobbies, and de-badged the rear completely.
Really happy with it, and it drives superb. Suspension and steering are great. Sound system ain't half bad either.
Only issue is now it has spat out all its oil onto the garage floor with a busted oil feed or return to the turbo...4 days old!
Back to the dealer with a nice reliable German C200 estate as the hire car thanks to Land Rover Assist! The wait starts all over again!
