Go on then, what do you reckon I should get instead? Has to fit a DH bike without any dismantling or wheel removal.

I would rather take the wheels off my bike, than drive my grandads car

I think you managed both last time you were at BPW

dream land, RS6 estate

real world a 3 series estate 320D, unless you don't care about the drive.

Just ditch the hatchback, you aren't 20 any more ;0 and nor are you 80 for the mazda.

The truck is a nice idea but it only works well when it is between house and trail centre not with the service station stop. (though you can get floor anchors for a truck) and the mpg is a nightmare.

Now we have entered into that dangerous and oft repeated topic of what car.

We have. On ages you need to take mental age into account

Trucks are out for the lack of security reason.

RS6 estate or C/E63 AMG estate would be nice. But a bit pricey, petrol consumption through the roof and maybe not ideal for leaving in Welsh trail centre car parks.

Security, just get a back for it:

If you care about the drive you wouldn't buy a 320d. Petrol ideally, or if you have to have diesel a chipped 330. But 3 series are tiny. 535 would do the job, but as Stevo says attract unwanted attention. The Mazda being dull as fook has advantages.

Good point but I cant see myself buying something that drives like a truck not a car. So as far as this ones concerned I'm out.

Apart from Welsh car parks it need to survive being parked outside my folks house in Redcar. So maybe a Vauxhall Viva with a vinyl roof?

Also as tempting as Flans Audi suggestion is, this a second car so I can push off (mainly out West and up North) without leaving wifey stranded. So cheapness is good, especially as I'm tight as a gnats chuff.

The very thing. Save on B and B's when in Wales (invite sheep), open up kebab shop near a house in Shropshire, fit a red light and install a cash register when in Redcar.

Excellent, it would pay for itself in no time. The only drawback is the power unit might make people think that I'm T47b :shock:
