 Image Title: Honda Accord circa 1995. Last car before retirement. Similar shape to this. It had a sports trim which took the car very low to the road. So low that Honda had to supply higher springs to avoid the car hitting surfaces like those found in multi story car parks. The car hit the ground even on modest slopes. The new springs solved the problem. |

 Four years ago I had an illness that was crippling me. I sold my 4 year old Lexus that had done 20,000 miles because it was so difficult to get in and out of. I paid £2000 for a 1999 RAV that had done 90,000 miles. So easy to access with its high seating position. Just routine servicing saw me through. I'm fully recovered now but happy to stick with RAVs so now I’ve moved on to my latest 4.3 model. Looking forward to summer. Wish I had that number plate! |
