      Ahhh, I remember I had one of these. 51 plate, bought it brand new, sold it 14 months later, lost 7k. Still, lovely lovely car. Big alloys and satnav.

      Now got a Merc E class in silver with the panoramic roof. Had to get two new back tyres over Xmas. Even me, a contractor, did a double take on the price of those (260 quid a pop for 2x Continental 265/35/18). The kids think it looks like a taxi, a fact I was able to argue about until someone tried to flag me down the other week. I mean, honestly. Still, easiest 30 quid I ever made. Not really, joking.

            Probably a "born again biker" Too many think they are the skillllllz and end up buying a superfastbike at 4X years old, then promptly go and write both the bike and themselves off.

            I am an Audi fan btw, do like the RS4 (will never buy one most likely)

                  Extremely boring. Extremely good motor. No need to change (probably worth didly squat now).

                    Nice motor, big enough to carry all our snowboarding & sailing tulip and comfortable enough, but not so big that it's impossible to drive around town.

                    I'm confident this is a stone-cold loser in any Car War.
