Ben From Barnsley Hello Chaps!

[bensalhambra]

Hello everyone,

I'm Ben from Barnsley. On my first adventure into German cars after having a few Peugeots, Vauxhall and Nissan.

The time has come for me to have a stint at being a people carrier driver.

I'm 30 odd with 18 month old twins.

So I've bought a 02 reg SEAT Alhambra.

Some pics here:

It's done 170k with FSH and 12 month MOT. I bought this with some change left over after selling my 53 Reg MGTF (The-T-Bar MGF & MG TF Owners Forum - - Topic: Bogey - Progress Thread (1/12)).

It's not mint but so far so good I've done about 200 mile in it.

I will start posting some questions in the right area hopefully.

Hope this is a friendly place and I can meet some other like minded folk / local experts to help me in troublesome times. I'm pretty good with spanners once I get used to what I'm working with.

Overall so far I think the build quality is the best out of any car I've owned so I may be a convert to VAG cars.

Hello Ben and welcome.

 

I wish I'd not looked at this. I'm getting car sick (Bit like home sick) and almost tempted to offer a swap for my MKIII Galaxy.

 

It certainly looks very inviting and I'm sure that, serious problems aside, you'll get as addicted as the rest of us. I hope you Don't have too many causes to shout for help.

 

Ron.

 

P.S. Don't take too much notice of me. I'm just an old stick in the mud who thinks that Ford did to the Galaxy what Gordon Brown and His sidekick Balls did to the economy.
