So I've been mad busy and stressed and in the knowledge my old 180,000 mile Bora will soon need taxing and new tyres and probable other fettling we decided to get a new car but quite frankly for the first time in my life i couldn't face the hunt or the arguing over requirements. I have my weekend car and will inherit the family bus for work, of course I'd love an M5 touring or some such, but reality is a kicker...

So with £10k (plus my bora) and the basic requirement that I'd not prefer another diesel and the kids must all fit in the back off she went...

Anyone guess what she came back with?

A well worn early Range Rover Sport diesel, with patchy history, many big jobs / MOT imminent and running on mismatched ditch finders.

But it will have heated seats.

I'm thinking white (definitely white) Audi A1 S-Line 3dr. Oh, and a diesel one.

None of the above although someone was close.

I thought she'd go for a mini countryman s, hoping slightly, but apparently not.
