Sat here chuckling to myself about badge snobs and the aspirational world. I am currently sat in a room full of aspiring accountants. All of us are on a very similar salary, but working around the room, there are two BMW 1 series, an A3 sportline, an A5 (all brand new) and... My  mk2. Yes non in that list are super fancy, but they were all bough for the BMW or Audi badge.

I almost feel sorry for people who buy their cars based on badge alone. I guess if they gain no pleasure from actually driving, and have the money to throw at a badge, then fair enough. But they all question my choice of car, and when they do I can just smile in the knowledge that I have fun driving my car almost every time, while a Deisel A3 bores me to tears.

Everyone is an individual though.

Back OT, that Merc's rear end is horrific.

Good to also see you again dearest old bean.

I was wondering when you'd upgrade to the M135i? It is a great car, love its looks and it comes with a very excitable bottom! Why not EBII again?

We are changing, this December, our second 330d from EBII to Mineral Grey. It has been hit 4 times whilst parked. Jinxed. Mine remains EBII.

That Mercedes is horrific. Nearly all Mercs seem to have droopy arses. I wonder why?

I bet most of them don't give a second thought to driving pleasure.  Mind you it's not confined to those brands.  A while back I met a guy in a brand new mk7 R, who claimed he'd moved from a mk6 GTI, to a mk7 GTI, followed by a mk7 GTI PP, and then the R.  Throughout our conversation he wasn't  able to give any informed or coherent opinion about the car other than saying "yeah it's great, just the same as the mk6 GTI"
