Thought I'd share my journey, mainly for those dreaming of a RRE and thinking they are only for the lucky few.
5 years ago I went self employed & left the corporate world of company cars and generous expenses to the life of paying everything out of your own pocket & running your own business.
This meant a serious review of costs would be needed so it was goodbye to executive cars and hello Skoda, on the promise to myself that 5 years on a I would return to the executive toys.
I have just bid farewell to my 5 year skoda ( selling privately in advance of a poor trade- in value ) and am now the proud owner of a £500 02 plate Vectra ( complete with Privacy Glass rear windows, a radio that works occasionally & the loudest wipers in the world ) which will tide me over for the next 6 weeks before the arrival of my Dynamic.
Roll on Christmas, I think the step onwards and upwards will be quite a big one !
