keep the car! :grin: we had a 3 door seat ibiza when our boy was born, then a 3 door suzuki jimny before we bought our first mk4 a 3 door 2.0 gti then a 3 door tdi, we never once had a problem with any of these cars with the baby, managed fine all day every day, there is plenty of room in them for everything you need. i dont understand it when people feel that a 3 door car is not big enough and they go out to get a bigger car when it is not needed.

Dave has 2 dogs h wants to take out as well!

yep cant get it all in plus the dogs, also my cars get changed every 6 months cos i get bored   :laugh: the golf has been with me a year  :shocked:

get smaller dogs  :tongue:

well i put them on a hot wash but they didnt shrink  :evil:

Erase the dogs from the picture.

mmm any suggestions how to do this  :grin:

well you don't like the Westie and she is ill........could make it look natural  :lipsrsealed:

you can't get rid of Meg though - she's lush  :smiley:

A converted car wouldn't put me off, TBH, but I am a mug who likes to buy standard cars then spend a mint on modding them, when I could have bought it already modded & saved a small fortune, lol! :D

I still dream occasionally of buying an Mi16 converted Pug 205 or 1.8T'd Mk2, in fact.  If you're the patient type, then I reckon it would be possible to get near enough the same money as a standard 1.8 T. :afro:
