    Along with (I guess) thousands of other punters, I will not be swapping my now 3 year 4 month old car this year. The ~£12k or so that I save by not changing stays in the "if I get sent to the bench" fund. I'm OK till July 09 but the whole of 09 looks to be a wash out as far I can see for job prospects.

            Very expensive for a Citroen; dull cabin design, some quality shortcuts, overlight steering, wallowing suspension. If you're determined not to buy German, the Lexus GS and Jaguar S-Type are similarly priced.

            Why would you buy this car?

                  Maybe to not have the same boring car as everyone else (i.e. Ford BMW Audi)
                  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.”

                    I am being tempted by the new Mini Cooper S Convertible, but I doubt I will bite this year.

                    Unless I get the juiciest of juiciest of contracts that keeps me working 46 weeks of the eyar, I wont be buying a car.

                    happy getting around on my motorcycle for the time being, although the girlfriend is not always impressed when its -3 degrees outside!

                      Go and try it out instead of going on some embittered journalist’s opinions.
