Replacing my GT86 with one of these ...

Mercedes and Volvo make the only acceptable estate cars.

And Audi of course.

And Jaguar.

And not Mercedes - can't stand their estates.

Why is it that almost all your posts, on any subject, bring to mind Russell's old adage:

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts" ?

What's wrong with the GT86, you only just bought it!

What part of family practicality did you not get?

What part of family practicality did you not get?

Didn't you have a family when you bought it? Were you too stupid to count the number of seats? Wasn't the whole point you wanted a fun small car in addition to the large family car?

Ooo 'ark at him!
Yes to the latter, but circumstances changed - and I found myself quite often using a child seat in the front of the GT, which I don't like for safety reasons.

Are you just going to sit on a couple of cushions instead now? I'm not sure that's any safer.

But you went ahead and did it anyway. What a tool.

May I recommend the 'Appia', a practical family runabout produced by the Lancia motor company of the fine city of Turin and equipped with a remarkable configuration of doors making access for young ones comfortable and easy and ensuring ladies can step in while preserving their modesty?

I have heard reports that this charming little vehicle is capable of cruising comfortably at speeds approaching 70 miles per hour, a speed at which those of a gentler constitution may shriek in fear! I suggest a more sedate speed to keep all passengers happy. Begads, Jeeves tells me he's even seen ladies driving this little saloon car!

That is probably an appreciating asset and thus a very wise buy.
