Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Will he keep swapping cars until you get the one you like best?

If it was his choice then don't feel guilty. If you forced him to do it then look at what it is you feel guilty about.

There was a programme all about their history recently.

They even said that if it wasn't for Sachi and Sachi with their marketing campaign back in the 80's, they may not have survived.

They must be good at brainwashing then.

I had a string of French cars and they all had serious issues...left a good impression that I'll never get another one.

The 208 Gti nearly convinced me but I couldn't go back to Peugeot

"I just hire cars. Usually A4 or C class mercs. All goes on expenses. "

The previous A4 was a nice car but like Mercedes they moved their production to South Africa and Mexico and the build quality of the new ones is appalling.

Ps don't tell the tax man about putting them on your ex's.

It still counts as a car benefit.

If you meant our comment, newer Audis and Mercs.

Not tried the latestvC class to be fair but the last three generations were shocking, electrical faults galore and they had to fly a tech in from Germany to try to fix an ECU problem on ours, it just used to cut out on the motorway, nightmare.

We had an A5 whilst ours was in the garage and when hubby dropped it back the lady asked if what he thought of it.

He shocked her with his answer, she then told him it was her company car, whoops!

I had two M3s, I couldn't fault them, awesome cars with superb balance and power,,,,,,,,,,finally gave up on expensive cars as they spent more time parked than being used, 3000 miles a year,,,,,,,,,it wasn't worth it just sitting there. I have now purchased a 23 year old jaguar xj6, cheap to buy, classic insurance, and not a disaster to run, happy days

"M5 was and still is the benchmark of sports saloons. "

Toyota GT and vxr8 are far more desirable than the M5 these days. Bmw don't cut the mustard anymore in that category. It's like having a pair of adidas gazelles yes they will look ok but you'll be shown up by someone in far trendier trainers in 3 mins time then 5 mins time then 10 mins time etc etc

My BMW 135! Only returns about 23 Mpg

but for something so quick and cheap to insure £270 I will live with it.

M3 quicker again but twice the price and not much quicker.

"M5 was and still is the benchmark of sports saloons.

Except you won't though

Gazelles are one of Adidas cult classic all round trainers that they have been producing for years. Not too dissimilar to the M5.

The BMW M5 has always been the car of choice. Hell, it's used as the nurburing ring taxi!

You're seriously comparing a Vauxhall with an oversized V8 to an M5? Words fail me

Except the vxr8 isn't really a Vauxhall is it. It's a holden and yes it's much better than an M5. Trust me I've had both
