Holland & Holland Overfinch Range Rover. :cool:

Reasonable economy. Stuck in traffic? No problem, pop the boot open and a bevvy of drinks are awaiting you to wipe the traffic fury from your mind. See a chav rioter coming towards your car? No problem, pop the boot and blow that sucker away with the two 12 gauges hanging provocatively in their holsters.

Win. Win. And Win.

Did you say........"diesel"???

Surely not.

sad but true.  :undecided: I do an easy 20k a year and most of, if not all that is around towns etc.

A Seat Leon FR+ TDI DSG Auto 170 BHP (RRP £ 22,615.00) Sorry someones gotta say it  :smiley:

It ticks the boxes and if you can live with the interior on the MPS then surley the Seat's a step up on that.

I don't like Seat's alloy wheel range though so stick a nice set of BBS  CH or CK's on there.

Then get Doc to give it a wee tune   :wink:

Quirky, save a few squids for your Real Car budget too!

I was doing some work at Volvo in Ghent when they were just putting them round the production line to see how they work, was asked by the then Volvo finance director "being our stereotypical demographic individual, do you like it and would you buy a C30?" my reply was "Nah, would rather buy a Golf"  Quickest conversation stopper EVER!

I'm still proud of my response  :laugh:
