:? A lot as you'll have to go for a new one.

But a second hand E55 Kompressor (500bhp and 515lbft) should be reasonable I assume.

Black one ! 8)

Any recent testdrives, Chris ?

If you wait for a bit longer still, you'll be old enough to go and testdrive a C6 :lol:

I'm going to call the Scooby dealers tomorrow to see if they have the Spec B and the Tribeca in for Saturday. I've driven both but Lisa wants a go.

I have to say if we do change the Spec B is top of my list (as i don't think that the VW Toerag won't fit in the garage :roll: ).

I thought that shed of yours was pretty big :wink:

Spec B is nice, but very thristy.

Have you ever considered a BMW 535d otherwise ? Sure a beemer image. But there are nice BMW drivers, see mrs Bro.

The auto is meant to be a lot better and the MY07 car has switchablr ECU settings.

The car's now doing around 80 miles a week so i can probably relax the economy part of the search a little.

The shed will hold around 8 cars but it's about a mile away from where i live; too far to walk for the car each morning!

So if you don't need economy anymore... you can get a Phaeton V8 or an Audi RS4 :woohoo:

I could do. The VW dealer said the staff at the garage all felt like they needed a peaked cap to drive the Phaeton...

The RS4 would mean dealing with Audi again...

I've seen the resale figures on the Spec B, it loses about

Who cares what image you got?

I say the Phaeton is one nice piece of technology.

Plus, there is no reason to drive such a car like grandad.

Double vote for the Phaeton - an excellent purchase option.

Just remembered, the Phaeton won't fit in the garage so that's out.

Looking like a spec B. Now do i go salon or wagon?

I think i'll have a MY07 in black the spec seems very good and the thirst wasn't too bad, we averaged just under 25mpg with a mixture of driving.
