Car quandry

[LondonManc]

With the fuzz seemingly getting tighter on speeding (not because it's a handy cash-cow for them, honest), is it time to trade in the two-seater for something more sedate and luxurious? That's without half the motorways up north a constant 50 zone with roadworks and smart motorway upgrades.

Why not just use the right hand one of these a little less?

Yep, I've owned a few two seater sporty cars, and they make no sense whatsoever now with:

Third world road surfaces
Speeding is worse that child murder mentality
Cashcow of speed tax
Gridlock everywhere 24/7
Crazy immigrant drivers that clearly can't drive ready to wipe you out

So given the above, a softroader (4 wheel drive to cope with the road surfaces and the snow/ice that doesn't exist anymore due to global warming ), air suspension, big heated leather, entertainment system is what you are looking for.

Thinking Jag but might get a 4x4 to upset my neighbour who hates them with a passion

Jag 4x4 then win/win, think they have some Chelsea tractor in the works too.

Blimey, can't see the budget stretching to a brand new Jag. Looking at Merc ML or Lexus RX as possibilities.

What you got? I'm looking for a second hand porsche cayman <25k.

I am, honest, I was waiting for someone to mention cars just to say I'm going to buy a porsche. Obviously, some twat will turn up now and say you are not a proper contractor if it's second-hand, bastard.
