Please say hello to Ernie, my new car.
Sadly the Red monster expired after being on life support for some time,
but although Ernie is a little smaller (and more expensive) he is a worthy replacement.
As you can see, Ernie isn't in bad condition for a 15 year old car (although he has been in a couple of scrapes) - that's because he has had one lady owner from new and she made sure he was regularly serviced.
Ernie is a Suzuki Swift 1.0 CL (I think CL stands for Cool). I bought him at an auction a couple of weeks ago for the bargain sum of £120!
He may not be quick, but he is SWIFTly making his way into my heart. He even has a drinks holder!
