    Actually Merc SL is looking quite tempting.

    I know it will be a mistake. Don't do it, don't do it.

    May life give you what you need, rather than what you want....

            Jag XK/R (MK2) is 17th most reliable, which is more reliable than a Toyota Avensis.

            Used JAGUAR XKR 4.2 Supercharged ... for sale - PistonHeads (Ref 1360065)

              I hate to piss on your parade, but the SL isn't getting the family in.

              3 year old E220DCI estate. 40mpg 140 mph, comfy. £15-16k. 30-40k miles

              Or, Passat. 1 YO same money get's you into a low mileage one.

              Or Superb (Skoda), possibly the best second hand buy there is. Nearly new, 13-15k and will last a lifetime. Comfy, roomy and effectively a VW/Audi in drag.

                Good engine. Wonderful engine. Delicious engine, sounds like a Spitfire having an orgasm.

                  Heard an XFR-S go past the other day and on the overrun, it was popping and spitting like an old fighter plane. I almost had a moment.

                    My Jag can fit the family in and it can drink your German estate under the table.
