Thank all for advice - I think that I will wait closer to the end of May leave re the z as suggested...Getting a Juke is on the cards still tho as the other half has had the mini for 4 years and it doesn't have bluetooth sat nav etc. in addition to it being a bit bigger/safer we found out she gets to keep her car allowance whilst on mat leave - so that's a bonus we hadn't budgeted for..
I did think about keeping the mini for emergencies - as even tho it is a 57 plate it only has 40k miles on it and is the 1.4 engine so cheap to run.. But I know I'll never use it.
I'd really love a gtr a chap I know at my gym has one. But it has been in the garage for the last 7 mths!!!!!!,,, being fixed ....but that's another story..
