It was an ex driving school car so we took a massive gamble. Our other car is a 2005 1.0 petrol with around 90k on the clock. Bought a couple of weeks ago from a good friend on another forum ( www.club80-90.co.uk ). VW T25 camper vans etc. Nice little car but the diesel is much smoother (apart from suspension). This one is the colour edition in black.
I am semi retired now and work for a charity for the elderly and need a reliable car for work so the Yaris is ideal. I used to be a motor mechanic in the 70's/80's (I'm 61 now) so I worked in the pre electronic trickery days  My next job on the Diesel job is to find out wh the electrical adjuster isn't working on the passenger side (RHD) so I think I'm going to have fun  My son owns a garage so any tricky repairs I get him to do!
Oh, I'm from York, UK by the way. Anyway, Hello and thanks for letting me on the forum.

Hi Gramps,
I hope you enjoy your visits here. You have the distinct advantage of owning vehicles which are nonexistent here, and I'd truly enjoy seeing them.
