I'm sure you've got a point to prove, but I'm bored ....

Cos you've run out of roads to explore? :think:

Loads of new roads to find on these islands. And I'll be doing so over the winter months when it's too cold to ride in UK

Yeah, fuck paying £600+ a year in tax for a £30k car you won for £8.
It says it's a 3.2l diesel, I'd be cheesed off paying £600 a year tax for that.
TBF it comes with £2k cash as well!

Missed a classic with good odds too. Probably just as well as I've nowhere to put it if I had won it. Very nice though...

I've never really considered leather a great choice for luxury seating it any context....too slidey!

I quite like the Alcantara. I'm not sure suede would be a good seating choice :D

If you're sliding around in a seat, you're probably on a bus.

IIRC the Japanese use wool for their high end high end cars. Leather being considered too noisy.
