We’ve got a L200 for the donkey work and towing, then we have a mk5 golf gti, which the gf still used for the donkey work much to my annoyance.

Well .... here's the choice.... the're both worth very little but they are interesting. Who on earth would spend mega bucks on a new vehicle when you can have this kind of thing? cheers Joe

520D SE Exec XDrive with loads of extras - original owner would have got the MSport cheaper...

I’m happy though as it is more comfortable than my MSport ever was and I don’t have the engine to be able to hustle, so don’t need the low profile tyres

Can't get a pic up, I've got an early BMW 335i (twin turbo model) that's had all the weak points sorted and a few minor improvements to the power, brakes and suspension so I can annoy cars worth 10x as much :mrgreen:

I've looked to get shot of it a couple of times as it's too expensive to run really but for various reasons I've kept it. Prices are rock bottom, but might rise again if I keep it for long enough (rarer model beemers usually do).

Nobody wants to see pictures of a grey 2006 Mazda 6, or a 2013 VW Crafter

Have to confess that I got a volvo XC60 when I got to Sweden. This is the car last winter just as the snow started to come in, got a total of 30cm here last year :wtf: :D

It's not so bad as winter tyres are legally mandated for the winter and they do come and grit every road in Huskvarna, it's just a pita not having a garage and having to scrape snow off every morning to get to work lol

But the car is so nice to drive. Driven it back to the UK twice now and it was so nice to drive distance without getting backache. The polo I had before absolutely killed my back just driving Milton Keynes to Kent and back.

Had a winter near Jokkmokk, 4ft of snow that year so not too deep according to the locals, the poles beside the roads to show the snow plough where to go were about 6ft high.

It's handy when the family wagon works so well as a trackday transporter :thumbup:
