Thinking of buying a new car

We are thinking of buying a smaller car that I can drive to Toulouse more economically. Then when Doug passes his test he can drive it for a while before graduating to the truck. In the meantime the truck can stay at home and be driven by people helping with the house to get gravel from the quarry and whatever else is needed.

We are looking at an ex rental fiat panda. It is good because you can hire it to try, and get the hire back if you end up buying it. 

It was good on the mountain roads, and good on the way up to Toulouse. Our drive was a little bit of a challenge, but Doug is going to flatten a part of it during the week so hopefully will be ok too.
