As I advised a five year old yesterday, "forget that Lamborghini you are dreaming of, you can't get a tumble dryer in it".

I've not had many cars and considering a don't like diesels or saloons I am so very pleased with mine. Impressed enough to buy a Tourer.
I feel good driving the saloon

Just need to keep the rust away
