Mine drives an 3.0 quattro A4 cab.
A4 estate would be good...RS6 would be nice.

Discovery 3 TDV6, great for the kids/dog/shooting/moving/off roading/pissing off the lentil eaters.

Failing that 535d M Sport Touring with DMS upgrade! 30+ mpg and woooooah!!

X5 diesel sport with all the extras - a bit of a drug dealers car but super comfortable, handles like a car and consistently returns 31 mpg even with me driving it!

Thats what I'm getting next! (april 07) Bored of the Voyager. Need more fun at work. yes I have spotted one with the M5 paddle shift steering wheel retrofitted. thumbup Now thats what I'm after!




For the Mrs, Gadge, I would go with the A4 Avant S-line. (def an S-line) Very pretty car. My mate had one for the last year and it was really lovely. He had the 1.9tdi and even that was pretty nippy. (40+ mpg too)

The 3.0 tdi would be mental!!

Gadge - what you want for Jen is to put that crazy Fiesta engine into an Escort van ... that'd be fun.

the fiesta is a perfect car for her

no rear seats - to allow the roll cage to be fitted, so there is plenty of room in there !

she hates the car to be honest - it scares her - she has driven it a couple of times and its really funny to see her getting to grips with the paddle clutch pmsl

the idea of an A4 or a freelander or Discovery appeals to me

are the freelanders any good ?

My Mrs has a Nissan 350z GT

Not too bad but a bit of a problem when going to Sainsburys to pick up a few crates of beer

I am the Mrs! Mines the Noble.

My husband manages the dog and the crap even picks up the beer. No problem, we manage just fine.

My wife drives a 500BHP Skyline R32 GTR.
No kids, no horses, 1 dog (which sits on a blanket!!).

Surprising how much beer and shopping you can get in it.

I do a lot of carp fishing and carry lots of gear, my aim is to eventualy trade the old battered Primera for a A4 2.5TDi or by the time I can afford to do it maybe a 3.0 TDI.

I think they look great, couldn't think of getting anything else (well maybe S4 avant RS2/4 or 6).

Bird (boss) drives a Puma.
