Quite often a person's wealth and their good taste are inversely proportional. Same goes for a girl's looks and their personality.Originally posted by _V_ View PostThere are a lot of dullards in IT, and most of them are contractors in my experience.

Driving is a fun experience not a posy one, IMO.
Couldn't care less what people think.
The discontinued Mazda 6 MPS was one of my favourites.
4WD, a fine chassis, and a turbo-charged engine meant a shit load of fun.
The old Subaru Forester (15 years ago) was another.
Both practical enough for family use too.
In current times the Octavia VRS is similar but I don't like the front wheel drive.
Have had the Merc for a few months and while I like its comfort and build quality, it's not very chuckable.Hard Brexit now!
