Owning a car is an essential component for those of us who live in the beautiful but distant and vast west Highlands.
Without it our lives would come to a standstill: how would we ever get things done? How would we get to work, take the children to school, do the weekly shop or visit friends?
It can be no surprise then that buying a motor car is, for most people, the second most important purchase they will make, next to purchasing their house.
