think i'd rather have my red corsa than the match, at least it was honest about being a bit shit.

How the other half live hey

Just cleaned it iin the dark not sure i was very successful

[JG]

On my 'running in' drive this morning (better than parked on the curb) white is still growing on me

 

Crikey, I doesn't look quite as shinny as this anymore. 

 

I've done 68k in it and have to shortly decide on its replacement. 

 

Pretty sure its going to be this:

Are you sure you want black again?

[hairy]

I've got my eye on one of those too!

That's a shed?

What else is there though?

 

Needs to have a list price of no more than 30k, C02 less than 109, BPH approx 190.

 

BMW's CO2 number bodging has fallen short of VAG's in the last couple of years. BMW used to be the best at it. Now though VAG have managed to get an A6 with 195hp diesel (which goes very well with s-tronic) under 110 CO2

 

I refuse to pay any more than £180 a month in BIK tax (as thats what i would pay in income tax if i took the cash) which limits me to the above criteria. 

 

I drove the new GTD last week end and its moved the diesel shed game on a long way from mine. It also sounds great,without the sound actor. 

 

The GTE is also possible, that would save £4k in tax over the course of the time i'll have the car. But i'm really not convinced how economical it would be on my mostly motorway commute.

diesel hatchback = shed

Black is the only free colour now, so i've got hope they get it right this time

[JG]

Going to have a look at this later as the other shed, it is a bit less of a shed though

 

 

I'm not sure about the bling bling (black with silver rim) wheels though

 

[Potatoes]

It's too much in my opinion, I'd like less bling with engine. It's a lovely looking car standard, would make a great Qcar!

[JG]

You can get them with 18s, this one could almost be a CDI

I like the 19s but in standard silver

[Potatoes]

Yeah, I agree, the 19's look awesome compared to the 18's

[hairy]

Don't think C63 meets your "C02 less than 109" criteria though

[Graeme Lambert]

You're right the GTD is good mate. C63 mega as well. Hold off a month or two on that one until the new car hits the market though, may soften used values. Or increase them if the new one is a shitter

Well JG?

[CocoPops]

Too much power...he's had to swap the gtd for a Fiat500

[ianrm]

500 the choice of champions.
