Love a mk7 GTI.

One was high on the list to get instead of the 335 but I decided the boot was too small for the one week a year we go to Aviemore on holiday :roll:
Lovely looking cars though.

As requested Sanjoy!
It’s really not new coming up for 2 years ownership, and no roof box I’m afraid, the van covers the need! I agree that would look epic.

The Vossens on the RS6? Absolutely horrendous quality, last 500 miles and they are so corroded they look like they have done 100,000 miles. Currently waiting on warranty claim to replace all 4

Guess I should go next. Chopped in the old w212 wagon and the M140i as there was one day in the last 10 months that saw both off the drive. Replaced by the unicorn that is an E400d All Terrain. Still getting to grips with it but should suit our lifestyle well. With our frequent trips to the Cairngorms it will take a decent load and the AWD and raise chassis will help when the weather gets spicy. Has some decent poke 340bhp & 700nm so I don't have to mourn the M140 too much. The thinking mans E63 :blackeye

Very excited about the electric tow bar for the bikes on the rear which Sarah and the boys will be able to reach.

Picked up a very late Skoda Yeti for Mrs B late October - purely to cart the ever-growing Golden Retriever young boy around, she didn't want anything too big, so fits the bill nicely, high spec so plenty toys too :D

Not really worthy of going to the bother of putting a pic up :damnfunny
