good old kumquat
Kumquat is the Nissan Qashqai +2 that has served our family very well for the last three years. (By the way, ‘Kumquat’ because that’s Jeremy Clarkson’s nickname for the car in an episode of Top Gear.) But we need a bit more space soon so we started looking for a new old car a couple of weeks ago. Knowing how fast Adrian works once he sets his mind on something, I insisted on taking a family photo with Kumquat 2 Sundays ago even though it was drizzling. I’ll really miss Kumquat because it’s the car that’s been with us the longest out of all the cars we’ve had since we got married. I hope he’s treated well by his next owner!
our new ride, Henry
Henry is our new old car. He’s about the same age as Kumquat and almost exactly the same colour but significantly more spacious inside. He’s called Henry because he’s a Mazda 8 (Henry VIII, get it? We have a very strange unique sense of humour…) I’m loving the sliding doors, the different air-conditioning temperature settings for the driver and front seat passengers, the space to put all our barang (like cups and bottles and phones), and the fact that we can start giving lifts to people now that there’s more room. I think Henry’s going to be with us for a while! Welcome to the family.
Haha for a moment I thought kumquat was what you called your little foetus and you guys finally decided on te name “Henry”! :p
Ai @ Sakura Haruka
I had the same thought!! Henry is a cute name though!! So the mazda 8 prevailed over the estima in the end??
It seems the Mazda 8 fits his golf bag better than the Estima! *roll eyes*
Haha! Can totally see why you’d have thought that!
The Mazda 8 is a great car! Both your old and new car do look remarkably similar. Enjoy the space!
Really enjoying the space so far. I love having sliding doors!
