    Now tell us you went to school with Clarkson.

    Would that be "fair"? I think we need more government legislation to stop these rich directors spending money that would better go to our wonderful nurses and policemen, who all work 90 hrs a week for tuppence. Raise taxes I say!

    on a related note

    I'm looking at a contract lease car through my company. Yes, I know there's a tax burden but it would be less than the maintenance burden if I take a heap of cash out to buy a car (due to divorce).

    Anyway, finding the car is no problem but I'm thinking about the insurance. If it's a company car then I should be looking at business car insurance so does anyone know a good company for this?

    Looking forward to picking the kids up in my aston martin

    That will cost at least 50-100% more than the RX-8, but man, it would be worth every penny. Must have the V6 engine. They are producing a Spyder version too. Lovely.
    MB, you should buy one they do a 200bhp 2.4l Diesel!

    Comments?

    I'm thinking of getting one. Don't really need 4 doors but it would make throwing the golf clubs in the back easier.
    Eats more oil than petrol, has short service intervals, sounds like a wasp trapped in a coke can, dosen't feel very quick. Over Hyped.
