The selection of a 2nd car has been an interesting process. We settled on our first car easily – it is a company car and I decided to take one for the team as we needed something big to get around in when we toured the country side. I went for the BMW 525d Estate – great car that is easily capable of hitting 120 (mph).

The 2nd car was a much tougher decision. What is needed for getting around town? Big or small? After testing a few different cars – BMW 1 Series, Audi A3, the mini was chosen for a very simple reason: size.

Over here the roads are VERY tight and the parking spots even tighter. A small car is amazing. Plus, this is a really cool car and the 25 degree – sunny weather they are having here (since July!) doesn’t hurt either ….
