In saying what she said, what did my Mum do 2 1/2 weeks after picking up the Audi? Went and bloody reversed it down the fence on the drive causing £250 worht of damage to the paintwork...

Can you please stop reviewing old Users rides threads just because you want to talk about your dads Audi A6??
Don't review a thread if you don't have anything GOOD to contribute with....

I'm not, I'm just scrolling through the Users Rides part and saw SAUC3's lovely Disco and felt like commenting, I just bought it up to show irony... I can't talk about my Dad Bentley Continental GT now can I? He doesn't have one! I can't talk about my Peugeot 206 GTi 180 can I? I don't have one! And I can't talk about the little red Mazda, 'cause nothing ever happens with it because it's never used... If I wanted to talk about our A6, I'd make a whole load of threads about it, But I don't want to so I'm not going to.

But you just did two posts ago in this very thread.

Yes I know, but it was relevant to the Disco stuff.
By the way, here's the one we were going to get... If it wasn't for my bloody mother... Excuse the tiny picture, it was from the LandRover Used Car Locator...

LandRover Discovery3 TDV6 HSE: 4months old, 7 seat, sat nav, leather, running boards, air suspension, 2,699miles all for £36,495

How the crap does that work?

More pennies for poms = pennance for the Ashes

[Waugh-terfall]

And $92,000AUD equates to around £37,000GBP

Your point being ..?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I was more thinking along the lines of inclusive of the luxury car tax and other standard fare for foreign vehicles yet it still comes out cheaper than in the country where it was built. your markups must suck, Waugh

The V8 HSE we looked at getting was painfully slow, I can only imagine the V6 as somewhat like trying to power the space shuttle with a bottle rocket.

The TDV6 isn't all too bad, it's a little slow, the V8 is much better, still not great, but drinks a hell of a lot more...

The Q7/Touareg have great engines throughout, the 2.5TDI Touareg we drove was great, quoting Dad.
