    I would be tempted to opt for the very low mileage RS4 or even RS6...

      Actually it doesn't matter what car you buy, Baggy, you'll still be a tulip.

        4 wheel drive is for off roaders - not for sporty cars.

          I would disagree. The Mitsi 3000GT Twin Turbo was 4wd. The Scooby is 4wd and that is hardly an off roader...

            It's F so not top whack, but almost. Insurance is band 19 so again, not top whack but just 1 off! Eek.

              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                If four wheel drive is so good, why aren't F1 cars 4x4 to improve lap times?

                  F is pretty good for a v6
                  Don't worry too much about the ins group, my current car is group 20 and is less than £600 a year. Only worry when the group is 20a or not quoted

                    Scooby is a bad imitation of a rally car = off roader.
                    Mitsi is not proper sportscar with 4wd and turbo.

                    Rear wheel drive - front engined - naturally aspirated = great handling car which is progressive on the limit so you can slide it around corners without killing yourself.
