Funny, that is very similar to what my wife said! She used a few more expletives admittedly! :lol:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Like them but want a manual this time. The Audreys' interiors take some beating IMO. Had an A6 many moons ago. Gutless but lovely car!

For north of £25k for a used car, I would at least want something I can find in a car park. :)

Golf R mate. Can't beat a Golf.
Keeping the Z4, get shot of the Mazda3 and replace that with an R. Wife can use both and I can have a fun car. Makes complete sense.
Got to buy my daughter a car soon (apparently!), four cars will clutter up the place so makes even more sense; financially and practically. :thumbsup:
EDIT - I see we’ve moved on from the golf, excellent, about this Jaaaaaaag :evil:

Bloody hell, wish I’d seen this sooner… found a gem for you;

My daughter said the Civic looks like a "Lego car"! I'll take that over "chav-mobile". :lol:
