    BUT according to Clarkson the Audi & BMW's are now the modern Mondeo Man Cars...

    They ponse around in Range Rovers and Discoveries at £60k+ each...
    At least they are made here and keep some part of the UK motor industry going!! Could be worse and driving Porsche Cayenne's...

      My new house I have to walk over a field and down a lane to get to my local only 10 mins I have been told. Still I guess that equates to maybe 1 hours walk home afterwards???

        I am quite sure that the posh motors they seem to be using were not purchased for the purpose but merely the spoils of war (the war against drugs), confiscated under some new law. At least that is the case on my side of the pond. The RCMP run all sorts of odd ghost cars on their highway patrols, including football mom's minivans.

          in and around here it varies from the usual stuff but I have noticed a few A3's....an S3...3 series estates....an octavia.... nothing too mental...but as I work in Lincolnshire, the cops are more concerned with catching joy riding tractor drivers!!....
