Skoda Roomster 1.9 TDi. Had one as a courtesy car for the Octavia's
first (and only so far) service. Very, well, roomy. Could do with the
140 or even better 170 PD motor though really. Probably too bulky
though.
So a Fabia vRS then.

He is, but I'm curious as to why it *has* to be brand new, unless he
lost a bet, or something.

While I agree that there is an element of false perspective going on,
the Nissan isn't as huge as my mind thought it should be. But living in
the land of supersizes probably does that.

My business is a partnership so there's quite a lot of freedom to do
as we please. We're planning to incorporate in 09 and I'm about to
find[1] out the implications of cars and tax and stuff.
