Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    No not really. I'm open to all suggestions, like the Volvo s40 but can't see myself picking one up thats not too old, I suppose I would like something in the 2005 range or upwards. Am I asking a bit much there?

    I'd definitely recommend Unkel's 7 series.
    My uncle has a 740LI and it's probably the most comfortable car I've ever been in. Over the likes of Merc S class' and all.

    How about a Mercedes E200K? You won't get an '05 but you will get the current model (W211) for your budget.


    Oh, and thanks for suggesting my car folks :)

    €3k on tax?
    I thought anything over 3000cc was around €1.5k?
