The wife left me in charge of £3K to buy an eco car today...

Man-hero!

[McSam]

Mate, you are brave indeed.

I applaud you, while you're still around to hear it

[SD1992]

That is genuinely brilliant!

8/10
Had you bought a Rangie or an XJ I'd have scored you higher!

Would of got a 10 from me if it was a Bentley Turbo R

[Codswallop]

Hope you like it, because I get the distinct impression you may be sleeping in it tonight

Lovely cars though, and great VFM

If you'd bought an ST220 you could have at least got some points on the "Manual" and "Hatch" requirements

[Jasandjules]

Not bad, not bad.

[MDT]

Hat off to you Sir

[rossw46]

Well done!!!

[IainZ]

Is he dead yet?

[browno]

I expect someone will be extolling the virtues of the jag's four-wheel drive system in the snow shortly to win brownie points...

Sounds like a decent choice to me!

[J4CKO]

Its a bit like "Wheres the Cow", "I swapped it for these few magic beans"

[bicycleshorts]

Fantastic thread.

[Chrisw666]

Good effort

But this would have won http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3332348.htm

Top Marks from me!

[carreauchompeur]

Marvellous result. I'm sure she will enjoy hearing about your man maths justification!

[k-ink]

Just wait until she has to fill it up - circa £80 and it won't last long. You'll get a bking then

Fair play, even by my random standards that's impressive.

I managed to shoe-horn a £1,000 E36 tourer into the "works snotter" category, because as my dad put it "A £300 escort would just be too sensible" BUT a 3.0L auto Jag, that's impressive.

As others have commented, P38/M3/M5/XJ/et al would have got you 100% vote of manliness.
