With the mileage rising, and tyres and brakes coming up for replacement, we decided it might be time to look for a newer model . . .
. . . and last week the deal was finally done.
So today, we said goodbye to our little Hyundai - and not without some sadness, as it has been a brilliant car.
Picked up our new vehicle - a second-hand Peugeot Partner Tepee Outdoor - from a dealer a few miles away in Llanidloes.
We went for this model as it ticked lots of different boxes.
It will primarily be my car (as Martin now has one from work, given the amount of mileage he's doing!) - getting me round town, travelling for work, etc.
It can take passengers (for when we have family or friends visiting), but being based on a van body, it also has a massive boot, capable of carrying a lot of hedge clippings!
There's also the prospect that we can fit it out as an occasional mini-camper van - there are ready-made 'kits' you can get to fit into the boot and unpack into seating with table, or a sleeping platform. Still considering our options at the moment - but watch this space!
