New Car

The Commodore had come to the end of its useful life and so the time had come to replace it. The replacement? A Mazda 3 sedan. Gone is the need for a larger car so we have moved to something a little smaller.
The more astute among you will already have noticed the colour and yes it does match Judy's new bike perfectly - not the reason for the colour choice of course.... For those interested in the really important things, it has a 2 litre engine, 5 speed automatic transmission, iPod connectivity and cruise control.
The best part? On screen and continuously updated average fuel consumption and speed, distance to empty and all kinds of other information. It is hard to believe I have been able to drive successfully anywhere without it. I cannot wait for the next trip to Melbourne!! In the past the lot of calculating average speeds and fuel consumption (essential information on any trip) has fallen to me - now the car has joined the information revolution to give us the most accurate and up to date information ever.
It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. If you want to know anything about averages please feel free to ask (if I haven't already told you).
