Just got my tax reminder through for this year, gonna cost me £145 for this year for the Megane. Can’t complain really as my old Mondeo would have cost £185 so I’ve already saved £40. Although had I had the Megane last year that would have been £135 I think, and next year with the scandalous new rates it’ll shoot up to £175.

I should be really thankful I didn’t update my Mondeo to a newer one otherwise I could have easily been looking at paying up to £260! Wouldn’t mind so much but with petrol soon to hit one million pence per litre there’ll be no money left. Paying £145 to keep Jemima running is OK I guess! She’s worth it.

Had it for over a week now, here are some pics of my beautiful little Renault Megane.

So glad I chose this it’s really niceto drive. All gadgety too, including such delights as… handsfree keyless with button starter (can open it, drive it and lock it without even touching the key card), headlights turn themselves on when needed, wipers are sensitive to the rain and adjust wipe timing and speed accordingly (with auto rear wipe when in reverse), climate control with super demister and 8 general fan speeds, set to desired temperature, nice information displays and trip computer, plenty of cubby holes, strange aircraft-throttle style handbrake, nice bright partial-leather interior, quiet and smooth ride, 205/55 R16 alloys, metallic Ink Blue paintwork, all electric windows and front fogs.

That beautiful ass:
