Two years ago today I was nearly a gonner! I was very lucky . We lost some lovely people in the last year which just should remind us to make the most of every precious day.
Can't argue with that - my dad would have been 81 today and he was only 45 when he passed (just ahead of my 21st birthday).

I'd be lying if I said it hasn't been a constant underlying theme throughout my life and is certainly one of the reasons why I sometimes just decide to jump in the car and go for a drive - like I did this morning. Carpe dIem.

I just turned 80
I.lost my wife, my son and a grandson in one year , 5 yrs ago. I try to live every day like it's my last, and thank God every morning when I wake up. Fortunately, I'm in good health, nothing more serious than arthritic knees and thumbs...good health and long life to you all.

It is that Paul - a 2015 18i in Valencia Orange.

I liked the seats so as per the theme of this thread I thought "f@@k it I'm having that" 🤣

Always liked Valencia with the black hood option, hows the 1.8.
Not as bad as I was expecting and I'm loving the 35mpg figure its returning - tbh I bought it with the intention of getting it mapped but was going to wait until after its MOT & Service in April.

Yes I know - I might be pushing my look waiting that long to get it done 🤣

Are those seats like that from the factory?
Yes it's called the Pure Traction Design Package - available from 2014 with all exterior colours but you could only order a Valencia Orange car with this package.

So you could order the 'pattern' for the trim in all colours to match the car, so only the orange for the valencia orange exterior car ?

No. The interior pattern and colour was a constant but could be ordered with alternative exterior colour options.

However, you could only order a Valencia Orange car with that interior. So you will never see a Valencia Orange car with the standard kansas leather interior.

On the 18i the Pure Traction Design Package was a £2,640 option with an additional £550 for the VO metallic paint. But on M Sport cars it only cost £550 and the VO metallic was free on the 35i & 35is cars. Probably why most of the VO cars you see are the M Sport variant.
