Silver and gold

Andrew has been kindly getting a lift to work with Steve and Andrew while we were living at Mayfaire. Now that we have moved to our new home we need a second car! We had decided to try and buy a second hand car for about $5,000. After some searching and discussion we discovered that to buy a 4 year old car in decent condition was going to cost around $10,000. After much toing and froing Andrew leased a Subaru impreza. I think this was his secret plan all along but he tells me this is not the hotted up sporty model - just the regular base model. It seems like we are a subaru family. By the way they pronouce it differently over here and I can't even try to describe it except that it is much faster and different emphasis of syllables: Australian - soo baa roo, American sooba roo. It's like Nissan is pronouced Nee sun.
