When you buy a car from a dealer who are "Specialists in one owner quality vehicles" you would think that's what you end up with.

Having just seen the car a female friend of mine bought it seems like a decent enough 2001 Toyota Celica, in a lovely shade of blue.

However the clutch was slipping so the dealer has "replaced" this.  But it seems to be a bit juddery unless you give it full revs in first and second.  I think a visit to Mr Clutch is in order to double check its OK.  I will let you know how it goes.  At least they could have made sure the aerial  was in one piece.



Spent a few days with an extra passenger in the car, in the form a a dog.  Unfortunately he likes water, puddles, streams, ponds etc.  No matter what you do the whole boot gets full of mud and dog smell.  Now everyone is looking for a niche market and the amount of people transporting hounds is quite considerable.  Cant someone come up with a dog car.  Easy wipe down interior, stowage for water towels etc where they can't be got at.  A ventilation system in the rear to help extract the eau de wet dog smell, built in water bowls, the list is endless.  Surely someone must do one somewhere ? 

I think the best candidate for conversion would be the Mercedes Vaneo, its huge and apart from moving dogs I'm not quite sure why you would want one.
