    Went to Address in Cov to change the energy meters this morning, your car was wedged at the back of the drive, :) Nobody answered the door though and the mobile they gave me was missing a digit! Left a card through the letter box, ;) Pete

    I never said we didnt this car is a suggested daily and as i said its just my opinion like it or lump it. Im entitled to it as much as your entitled to go and buy a RWD car. However which drivetrain is best is a debate for another thread.

    197: Clio...a little too hardcore for everyday????

    S3 is ok on fuel but hardly more economical, they drive crap of boost so fuel is no better than the clio. The S3 is alot more comfortable etc and sounds like what your after really, also the 4wd is a massive bonus in the winter. RWD is more drver focused but its still 100% fail in this...

    Garage took my R32 home...

    This is very true. However if i had driven past his house over the weekend i would have reported it stolen on the spot. The mk4 R32 is one of the most stolen cars due to security faults and extreme demand for its parts this may also be the reason he wanted it on his drive and not locked in the...
