Ask Goodwin

Let our motoring guru, Goodwin, explain the facts of life...

Coupe de Cup

Just to keep you updated from my last question where I asked if I should consider a Clio Cup to replace my Elise. Things have changed since I last wrote, mainly my other half deciding that we should save for a house. This has resulted in the Elise being sold and the Clio Cup idea been shown the door. I have brought a Fiesta ST, 13 months old with 9000 miles for £8,200 (someone lost a lot of money since new). Very pleased with the car, I really surprised how refined and quite the car is compared to my previous Clio Trophy. Of course the Clio Cup idea hasn't disappeared and I've got in planned as the next car. Just need to keep that to myself for now.

What nuisance. The Fiesta will do the job but not as well as the Clio. I've always considered that property comes after motors in the Important List but wives and girlfriends often think differently. What the Goodwins don't do is needlessly climb up the property ladder. Two up two down and a 911 outside is the ticket.
