Hi, flew through it's 1st MOT, it is like a new car, (Then again my 57 year old car flew through it's MOT in August too!!) yes the 147 was a top motor did several long road trips with 4 lads, but the baby seat is a pain with 3 doors. Yes it can be done, but it is always a) raining b) on a slope so the doors keep crashing down on you, c) someone has parked 6 inches away from your side and d) the toddler is either escaping down a busy road or using the cruise control lever like a ww2 fighter joystick. Oh the days of the X/19......

A bit late for you now but for anyone else, can I suggest cats?
Even when they're young you can go out and leave them to their own devices (little buggers sleep 24 hours a day anyway) and the only time they need to go in the car (vets or cattery) they're in boxes.
Plus, they do their business in a tray that you empty straight in the bin and they're handy for warming the bed up before you get up there.
And they're quite cute too (see below).
