    Default Yay! New Car!

    So yesterday I picked up a Citroen/Peugeot bench seat I won on eBay and this morning I picked up my "new" Citroen c8 AND it all fits perfectly so i am now an 8 seat vehicle owner!! I'm so happy I'm like a child at Christmas and can't wait to take the mindees out in it tomorrow for the first day of the Easter hols

    No point to the post, just wanted to share my joy!! Xx

    :smile: i have a VW Sharan which has 7 seats and I love it- so much easier to get the kids in and out (just my own, just started on the Childminding journey).
    enjoy your new car

    8 seats are fine it's when you go to 9 it becomes a problem! My insurer didn't question it at all :-) but thank you tinkerbelle xx
