That's a beastie Paul, and from personal experience I happen to know that under heavy acceleration the V6TDi sings a very un-diesel like tune, in fact it sounds rather rorty  |

We have an Audi too. However, ours is a rather more sedate form of transport. A4 20V in dark blue. Very retired couple's car, quiet, comfortable, reasonably frugal. Unless you put your foot down of course and then it is actually quite nippy and quite thirsty.
More than adequate for cruising around the empty French highway.

Citroen Xsara Picasso. It's gotta be practical for me a car. Can fit kids,dogs,bikes,canoes and BBQs in so it's pretty much perfect for me.

We don't have a car just now but my last vehicle was a black Renault Grand Scenic 1.5DCi. I really liked that car, one of the very few 7 seater people carriers I have driven that doesn't handle like a barge. In fact it was nigh on as chuckable as the 1.8 litre Zetec Focus my partner owned at the time and almost as quick. It also had an excellent stereo which was a bonus |

Loving it so far although I've found it rather thirsty in comparison to my previous 1.9 TDI A4, although I suppose I didn't buy this car for its economy |

That's why I keep them, can't get the engine anymore!
Several times been voted the best V6 engine ever made.

I have a black Mini Cooper D and I love it! It's the first time I've had an automatic and I don't think I'll go back to manual. Driving the Mini is like driving a go-cart. Friends say I look the part in it...
My ultimate car will be a white Audi TT Coupe. One day!

You must have something to hide with a statement like that. The A5 is nice. A car I quite fancy. On the drive/in the garage I currently have a BMW 320D for long distance stuff, a Nissan X-trail for going into the mountains for skiing trips. A Caterham 7 for a bit of fun, and a TVR Tamora just because it was there and I fancied trying a straight six. I left a 1928 Austin 7 in the UK with my parents. I really must do something with it at some point, either sel it or bring it down here. So yes, including the wife's car, that's 5 so I guess you'll have 6? |

I don't need a private jet. I have access to plenty at work.
Last time I went home for Christmas, Imflew back on an A380 with about 30 people on board.
There were no baggage limitations either.

BMW 335d M-Sport Coupe
I've had some work done to it: replacement Ecotune exhaust downpipe & sports cat, inlet swirl flap removal, Ecotune remap, Goodyear F1 non-runflats. It develops 376bhp and 740nm torque as a result
Not bad for a diesel. |
