    50k seems alot of money for an Audi A4, you could have had a porsche 911 for not much more!
    I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?

      Mmmm, now there's a lovely sound from the carbs alone!!

      Well, I'm so relieved that SCC have decided to divert £30m of council tax from propping up their final salaried pensions into repairing the roads.

      So far, they have just laid a bit of pikey bitumen on the roads and thrown a few stones over it.

      Hardly investing, the frugal w@nkers...

        Ah, but I'm 32 and have hair, never a good look for a Porsche driver.

          I drive nothing now.

          Don't even own a car now. Work from home. Good public transport.

          Wife has a car. Kids have cars.

          If I need a car - I'll hire one with a driver.

          Totally not interested in cars, or driving.

          I can have as many beers as I like now, and never have to worry.

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

            Rumour has it the TVR owners caused all the damage to the roads in the first place

                Heh heh! Well crawling around at 10mph avoiding the Iraq-esque type infrastructure, I'm not so sure...!

                Quite tempted to join the crowd and get a 5.0litre V8 4x4 to do 60mph over the humps...

                    I burnt my left arm on a Caterham exhaust as a passenger...

                      I will drink to that !

                      Not only do the carfree, or should I say the carefree, get to drink as much as they like, they avoid the endless problems of car ownership such as

                      Buying a Car
                      Selling a Car
                      Finding Parking Places
                      Paying for Parking Places
                      Dealing with Fellow Motorists
                      Fines for Speeding
                      Police Checks
                      Road Tax
                      Insurance
                      Car theft
                      Injuries or Death in Car accidents
                      Garage Bills
                      Car Breakdown
                      Car Vandalism
                      Increasing Fuel Costs
                      Road Rage
                      Car Clampers
                      etc etc etc

                      Not to mention the continual drain on money.

                      So what do car owners actualy get out of this ?
