Back to the original topic... I kept my previous GTI's until they had about 90-100,000 miles on them. Then I gave them away to family. I might keep the R for longer, although my brother has his eye on it.

I normally keep my cars for between 2 and 3 years, but the idea at the moment is to try and keep this one for longer as I'm now only doing around 5k miles per year. Saying that though I'm a bit impulsive at times so who knows!

Mmmm a free R  :drool: even a 100,000 miler. Do you by any chance have a sister I could marry? Or maybe even your brother if he's pretty like Fernando Torres ('cos nobody would notice the difference if that's the case), then I'd be family too...... :smug:

Good man. You'll have four wives then. Just don't forget to convert to Islam. I'll do the introductions. :grin:

Damn and bollocks. Can I be your step brother or something instead then?  :grin:

Still on 3 Asker, I'll keep working on it though..... :smiley:

You'd do for him then. I'm employing him and his wife next year. I am giving him my sister and Agreeable Slick is also probably going to comply with his, though he is being a bit coy at the present. Lovers tiff and all that. It is all pretty legal as Exonian is converting to Islam. Are you rich and pretty?  :kiss:
Need to get this sorted before the VAT goes up further to 22.5%!

I do approximately 4500 miles per year. So my car will be quite a nice dowry to help Exonian on his way. As I have a Freedom Pass, I think I can forfeit my car for the sake of this wonderful man's happiness. :smiley:

This is most exciting. :cool:

Woops, got carried away and should have attached this to the previous post. Slappy botty.

It's the inner beauty we are after mac7.  :smiley:

Gilly, get a tank or a truck. You are no good with delicate objects. How many prangs with this one? Obviously, none of them were your fault. :rolleyes:

I suppose with 400+bhp RWD, you'll have more dramatic prangs. Go on, I'll live vicariously through you. :cool:

mac7: Gilly will never give you a straight answer. We are still waiting for those wheels he was supposed to put on his GTI! :rolleyes:

Sounds like too much baggage. Plus I'm broke and ugly - runs in the family. Anyway, I find one wife challenging enough :lipsrsealed:
