we have decided it's time to rationalise the cars - keeping four is a ridiculous waste of money. The plan is to keep Pete's Xantia (because he loves it so much), and sell the Moose (Landrover Discovery), the Ape (MR2 twin turbo), and the FTP (Mitsubishi FTO GPX_ - all sensible offers gratefully received!

we plan to replace this with something small and sporty, but not hooliganesque - so Alfa 147, Peugeot 206 GTI, something of that ilk. So we went round some garages this morning gathering brochures.

got to Templegate Peugeot, and asked for a 206 brochure. They wouldn't give us a brochure without taking our name and address, which I wouldn't give them. They had no privacy policy, no concept of a privacy policy, and just kept stating that "it was company policy".

I'd write and complain, but then I suppose they'd get my name and address ... although I'm quite tempted to ask the Data Protection mob about this.

Just to let you know, certain members of our household first read that as "It's time to rationalize the cats" (and wondered how this could be accomplished, as cats are in no way rational).

Now there's a Catch 22! I suppose you could write the parent company. Peugeot's are such fun to drive, or at least, mine was. I still miss it.

Really? I don't think I've ever found a Peugot I liked out of 106, 205, 206, 306 and 405...

Don't tell me any more about the Moose, I might forget I'm after a new bike, not a new Landie!

Actually Mac, I'm glad you brought that up - you've just reminded me that I've been meaning to get hold of a copy of the DPA and a "guide" to it for a little while now...

/trots off to hmso for a copy/

Cheers!
