    Well it's a moot point since the only journey you're likely to make is the one from your crappy tedious public sector contract to your poky 4-bed new build.

    Hard Brexit now!

      A wide band of torque from 500 rpm to 2000 rpm and no torque either side, which means plenty of gear changes away from the motorway. You never been in a taxi around town?

        Won't be driving it around town. Got the town car for that.

          With a Diesel Particulate Filter, a Dual Mass Flywheel and a manual box - I doubt it - you should have gone for the auto

              Obviously you do.
              Perhaps if you'd done a bit more research before purchasing you would be less inclined to be hopeful about your choice of vehicle... still no doubt you're happy with the colour

                I did. And that's why I don't care what a moron like you thinks.

                HTH, BIDI because you're thick as pig tulip.

                    I don't do second hand cars. Not because I'm a snob, but because once you've bought a new car you can never buy second hand again.

                      I thought you earned enough to buy a brand new posh motor to suit your brand new Wandsworth mansion with a brand new wife?
