of course the badge is different, a long with the price tag.... but we are discerning types and to be honest, i just needed a cavernous boot for my hockey bags.....

It also has the advantage of not being an American car and therefore is able to deal with corners.

Trust me people. He loves and knows the fact that I will get myself in a corner and all he has to do is pickup a bucket of water, walk up and throw it at me

I actually did that to a cat one night in my back porch that wouldnt shut up!! I used hot water, it was in the winter(hot water freezes quicker)..never saw it again actually

Well you didnt tell me is along the lines of German engineering??

nice car actually....BTW how much are they us dollars??. It does look like a passat..

you don't have skoda over there? for sure we used to rip on skoda back in the 80s and what not; hysterical gags such as 'how do you double the price of a skoda? fill it with petrol' etc.....

but then VW bought it and the entire line changed.

that foto you posted MPD is the car in question; altho we got our a few years old and with 70k on the clock, so the tag was less than £2k..... not bad for a london price.

it is of course entirely stock, but i have my eyes on zz-top style....

don't tell the missus!
