  • Thank goodness - I think he would make a big mistake getting one, hoping he will go off the idea............. :o he keeps cars for no longer that around 8 to 9 months, he never has to service a car or tax it... he has had more cars than I have had hot dinners. And they are all brand new :eek: - I did that emoticon for the sake of the true mse folk on here, beat them to it.. :D

    I KNOW!!!!!!!

    And trading in his ST for a bloody RR Sport (but it would have to be secondhand...) I keep trying to edge him towards the RS but he seems set on the RR :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    and for him to buy secondhand, is double... :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Thanks for the feedback, like one of you mentioned, it may make people think I am on the fiddle. Seeing as the company I work for has been cutting people/wages/perks as much as possible, I can see if I drive in and park up they will all think the car allowance is too generous, and cut it!

    I find them very hateful things.

    To the point where I could happily push them all into the Manchester Ship Canal near where I work...

    I still buy and sell them as people seem to like them, but from a dealers point of view they are bleedin awful...

    Kind of curious, why you don't like em, is it because they are bad cars, or just a pain to sell (little margin)

    My son wants a Range rover sport in black with cream leather - I joke, not.... :o

    Pm me if have the RR

    Stood in BCA Derby a mointh back, watched a 57 plate, 38000miles make just £24000ish. A bargain if ever there was one - but metalic red, so no good for your lad!!

    & as for the x-Type, I wasn't over impressed, when I tried one a couple weeks back, but I am a fan of Jaguar brand. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1342627&highlight=vansboy lots good stuff there.

    See how it sounds when you say...I've a Jaguar on the driveway... (as oppoised to Passat/Mondeao/anything else... )

    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?
