7. Occupation.

1. It's a secret (but not that difficult to crack really)

2. near Camberley in Surrey

3. Galaxy Ghia TDI manual; built Oct 2000 but first registered in Jan 2001

4. In 2 weeks' time, I'll have had it 2 years; not had one before

5. I'd have another IF I could afford to buy one brand new; I'm still waiting to get my paws on some money due from an inherritance (this has been dragging on for over 2 years now) and I'll hopefully be looking at the next-gen Galaxy due on-sale in 2006 (alegedly)

6. I've spend a bit on normal servicing and consumables (including tyres, wiper blades etc) and on "modifications" such as home-made load cover (!) etc, but nothing on repairs; warranty repair of aircon system just after I bought the car must have cost Mr Ford almost
