Just bought a Merc

[sasguru]

Because we have taste and an image to keep, and you don't.

So what image does your black Peugeot van project exactly? Retired cab driver?

Mikhail,

why did you buy the petrol one ?

why no the diesel ?

much more umph


Milan.

I don't do enough miles to justify the road tax on the diesel. This one's quick enough for me.

Hugely fertile and canny with his wallet.

Loving the Aygo driver shouting the odds on cars and image

You still using the Brompton?

Is it really about image? What about comfort, luxury, personal taste, pracical needs, budget and so on?

No, there's a dead one on the desk in front of me. It looks quite cool but doesn't do anything. Perhaps I'll try to rescue it.

Yes the Brompton is still good for the daily commute
Aygo is a brilliant supermarket car for the missus.
I'm buying another for fun - only criteria is must be practical, very fast and have a huge grin factor - MPS is top of the list at the mo, but will look at others.

I really cannot understand brand snobbery.

Mount via firewire and get disk warrior to sort it out, and charge a fortune for repair services 5 minutes later.

Is this Mazda MPS one of those cars with a really hard suspension that shakes all your fillings out?
