The depreciation will be savage to say the least!

What about a nicely specced Tiguan 147 TSI?

Yeah - which is factored in to your monthly repayments and residual!

Camping & hiking in the Eifel Mountains should cover it.....

From what I've heard of DSG boxes, they must've towed it there for piccy, or it was parked there before it snowed.

I do like those Skodas.

With the Superb the boot is interesting as it can be a hatchback or a saloon based on what handle you use.

But drive one in Belfast and you either look like a taxi driver or a politicians chauffeur.

Cracking cars, but buying one in diesel second hand would be a nightmare because of that.

Doggy, when did you become 'Doggy' rather than Dogslife?

I noticed the change but thought nothing of it because that's what most people call you I suppose.

My Dad's current T5 has lost £20k in the space of 4 years.

I can't see the Skoda being much worse

Well, since you didn't consult anyone over re-branding yourself from 'welton', I'm not telling.

They've been going a long time then

There's loads of them Niva Riva Liva ? Dunno, the vaguely 4x4 looking ones

floating about here, 1.7 injection, power steering on some of them, mostly running on lpg. They're cheap too, mainly because they're complete garbage.

Grab yourself a bargain: http://www.njuskalo.hr/auti/lada-niva-n ... as-4566755

Lada Niva 4x4, first owner, driven by the wife (seriousl!) mainly on tarmac, engine has Bosch fuel injection, air conditioning, fog lights, tow hook, new Yokohama geolandar tyres, bull bar, running boards, fully paid for.

Hold on, can it really be worse than the stupid RAV?

That's just f*cking stupid! It looks like a little dog dragging its arse along your carpet trying to wipe the shite off.

Airbag suspension, sans air, for that "slammed" look (i.e. slammed into the ground from 30,000 feet)

(sorry, I have my BarryBoys hat on)

Yeah agreed, its pretty much useless on the road or what it was intended for,

on another note, that engine wouid be nice in something else

Granted, the engine might be fun in a proper car. No idea from the video or its description what kind of power that lump produces though.
