    i could only conclude you're a member of the travelling community and are correctly parked up with a caravan in tow with your extended family in a council car park somewhere as we speak.
    Fortunately i'm not that narrow minded. :)


    Really! A nice Mercedes based motorhome and you might be right.


    You boasted about your 10 000+ thanks early on (is that a humblebrag?) You compare me to westernpromises who I observe has a far higher thanks/post ratio than you currently enjoy. No need to do the numbers I've done them for you:


    Wp: 1.297 per post
    You: 0.598 per post



    So question time again(!).


    Is this correlation relevant? If not precisely why not?
    If not why is your 'thanks' count at all relevant?


    Cogent answers only please.


    PS. Funny/witty/sarcastic is good. Prickly/tetchy not so..:)
    Funnily, i've been pondering a small Caddy sized van to facilitate a side project i'm going to work on. I havent seen much movement yet, but in theory markets like pickups and vans are likely to be hit by the upcoming downturn.
    Would be interesting to hear if anyone has direct experience?

    Why? So you can argue with them?

    No disrespect to any forum users here but judging by the crowd of users, they all seem boring and just want an A-B car. Safe to say I probably own the most exciting, fastest car here compared to the bog standard FWD corsa's or miserable mondeos everyone here seems to own

    Cool, keep talking!


    I'm trying to get into the car/driving thing wondering what it's all about?


    Golf R estate - Skoda 280 estate - S6/RS6 Avant?


    Which one and why from a pounds/enjoyment would you choose?
