After a year's evaluation, I've found the best family car

And £50K bonus for any permie earning a decent wage means only £25K in your pocket.

Indeed.

That's why he is buying cheap Merc for old men, not proper one like SL 55 AMG...

That's why he is buying affordable Merc for civilised people, not Russian mafia one like SL 55 AMG...

ftfy!

Tis true the Busa is a bit of a white elephant. The missus doesn't like me using it so I haven't much. Was an impulse buy and will probably sell it. Worst of all, it is too heavy for me to get it off the stand!

Well not factually accurate, but no surprises there. I stated that I do not routinely slew into the inside lane simply to allow
small-penised, overzealous, frustrated petrolheads to drive dangerously fast.
However, given your lack of analytical ability, it is no surprise that you cannot differentiate between those facts and the rest of the disjointed clutter that rattles around your vacant cavern.

Maybe I should have a look.

I normally start looking at cars in the 60k bracket. But then again I'm a contractor not a permie.

Rotund?

Don't beat about the bush Sas. I've met Shaun he's definitely fat and he passed middle age some years ago...

Rotund?

Don't beat about the bush Sas. I've met Shaun he's definitely fit. And to say that he is an Adonis is probably an understatement. I felt quite intimidated in his presence. Like having a pint with Daniel Craig.

Look at the Octavia estate and Mazda 6 estate. I really liked them and as am not a car snob would have got one or either if the missus had not liked the Merc. You should get a recent one for your kind of budget.
Now if only Mazda did an MPS version of the estate, that would be my perfect car.
