billy you cant believe that myth.

someone could just prefer to have a car that is abit higher on the road etc or people with kids.

i like 4 x 4s as they arent many good saloon cars left.

mercedes have let themselves go abit, ford are shit and im not a fan of the bmw 5 or 7 series.
the audi a5 is nice though

you are right to an exetent. Also with the shit roads in this country driving a low-riding sports car with low-profile tyres and stiff suspension can make most mundane journeys bone-shudderingly £#%&!ing terrible.

my good mate has a porsche and its a nightmare being in it. so uncomfortable etc. its like a punishment being in it.

imagine having to drive it to manchester or somewhere long distance. £#%&!ing torture.

compare that to being in a spacious range rover or q7.

Love it when people say stuff like that. They usually go on to say you don't understand what it's like to have kids ignoring the fact that I was once one and my mum and dad had a VW Polo and Vauxhall Carlton and managed without a problem driving me and my sister plus everything else around.

Very true, i feel every bump and pot hole on the roads when driving about.

Does my head in.

Which proves that anyone who does buy one of those cars is an idiot. The state of the roads are hardly a big secret.

Ahem, Allegro. Or All-agro

Possibly the only car in history with a square steering wheel

I actually look forward to going back to Blighty and driving on decent roads. They're a million times better than the shite we have to put up with over here.

If the buffoons of top gear are to be believed then Ford Mondeo is actually a good car. Although mans aint interested in handling etc.

I have a large 4 x 4.

But I've got 3 young children all under the age of 8 and you simply can't get a saloon car that fits 3 child seats side by side. Now, in my day, like Forza is saying, we all used to cram in and didn't wear seatblets etc but times move on.

You can either ignore what's recommended for your childrens saftey or do something about it.

Saying that, I suppose I could have got a Renault Space Cruiser or one of those cars that looks like a boss-eyed fish but I'd rather eat my own shit than do that.

Goodbye.

bmw are easily the best car makers atm and the x6 is their 'favourite' child.


3.0 litre V6 engine, rear wheel drive with no fancy traction control etc (a real man should be able to handle that), no fancy add ons (a real man doesn't need electric everything), and needs a little maintenance now and again (a real man should be able to handle a spanner and know how engines work.
