Everything in moderation ... except beer
Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer
If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it

Possibly that off topic advice is a lot more contentious than advice about the humble bicycle...
Oh and something called a PPL cost £6000
Move along now...
I asked for ideas, and experience, not realy advice. I seem to have got a few ideas that I hadn't thought of, so IMO, this thread has worked.
Its also been quite entertaining...

So, I'm considering getting something a bit smaller for the next year or so. Currently looking at VW Golf sized cars. Specifically, surprisingly enough, Golfs.
Anyone got any experience with the VR6 4Motion's or R32's? I'll still need 4wd and a decent sized engine as my carrying requirements hopefully won't change.
Also, any other suggestions? (Surf-Matt, just to save you the bother, we've already discounted the BMW 3 series estate...
)
What about a late model last gen Subaru Forester? Bulletproof and they do one with a 2 litre turbo.0 -

The only "higher" Touring is the M5 version which does 10mpg and has a cr4p gearbox.
The M-Sport version of the 335d is higher spec
Matt what do you do for a living? I must admit I am quite envious of your lifestyle, you seem to have plenty of money, nice cars, live in a great place and get to go surfing and biking regularly
You take a lot of flak on here and I suspect most of it is because of this. People can be very jealous.0 -

Hmm, I doubt it is because the collective people are jealous El Loco Pollo, it is the way Matt brings about this 'information' as it were, he spreads it around in an utmost arrogant and elitist manner. Innit.0 -
