Don't quite know the best response for you "epicsteve" but seeing as you obviously don't know me maybe you'd be better off keeping you sweeping statements to yourself.
It was supposed to be a joke, but if you resemble the remark...
I drive my wife's SLK like an idiot at times to try and prove buying her the diesel was a better option than the 300 petrol. It can be fun as I think everyone expects the diesel to be slow!
You can plainly see the point in simonjj's life at which kids came along and his car choices went downhill with it
And also the occasional one where you can tell when the kids were grown up.
We had years of people carriers and estates but are thankfully well past that now!
