Growth spurts

C reckons this growth spurt is getting serious. Her tum has grown overnight again, and I'm not going to mention the milk factories!!!
Been chatting about cars this morning. Its going to be interesting cos I drive a 2 door BMW 318ti. Not exactly the most practical car to have when you got to try to fit a baba and all the paraphernalia in the back.
So, the debate has begun... what car to get. Obviously price is an issue, else I would get a new Landrover Disco, or maybe a Range Rover Sport... but that won't be happening any time soon. BMW does give the best deals, with 5% below prime, which means that I can get more car for my money, but is a 4 door sedan the most practical?
Pandy reckons that there's no way I'll be able to fit Spud no2 and all the junk in a sedan... He's already talking about Spuds siblings, how crazy?
I must say that I quite like the Toyota Fortuner. Big 4x4, which looks like it has lots of space. Problem here will be Dad... He hates 4x4 drivers. Not sure why he has suddenly turned into a tree hugger, but he reckons they are a pain in the ass and polute the environment... I do care, but I'm thinking about what is practical. It would be nice to get one and then pass it on to C when number 2 arrives.

Oh well, I suppose I had better go and test drive a few and do the sums. Then I can see what to do.

On to Car seats... JV reckons that the BMW car seats a problem as they only face backwards and there ain't know way to turn them around. Also, at about R7k a pop, bitchy expensive. They do have matching leather tho...

This all sounds really expensive. What I really want is a 2 seater convertible Audi A4... Methinks its too late for that (or too early...)
