    Can't believe no one has mentioned the true contractors car, an Audi A3.
    Yeah, a family car and apparently can be used to pull supermodels...women just throw knickers at you...apparently!!!

      They do hold their value well though , and they are easier to drive on the congested roads, thanks to the flatter torque curve.

      On an average family/commuter car I'd go for diesel
      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.”

        My advice is only consider a diesel if:

        You do more than 20K miles per year
        You don't spend a lot of time in stop start city traffic
        It is a 6 or 8 cylinder diesel, not a 4 pot

            Not much room in the back though is there?

                A guy at my last gig had a 911 with a child seat in the back, I think the kid must have his own oxygen supply for when the passenger seat is put back in position.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
