R Speculation

Originally posted by Daniel Holman Originally posted by iGRF Dinghy Sailors have always been tightwads, pleading poverty, scrabbling around for bent coins, washers and loose change to buy a pulley then stepping outside into a current year model Audi, Beamer or Volvo to drive back to whichever leafy suburb whence they came. (I once worked behind the counter at Racing Sailboats when they were in Battersea park Rd) Ha ha never a truer word said!

After wasting their money on one of those cars I doubt that they'd have any left for anything else.

Shameful admission for one purporting to being a sailor!

Shameful admission for one purporting to being a sailor! Questions when buying a new car: - does it come with a tow bar? - how much space for damp kit? - iPod jack for long journeys? - tax, how much rape and pillage will I suffer? The natural conclusion is that we should all be driving around in LCVs... namely 4x4 trucks.  They are not nice cars, but they ain't bad sailing vehicles.

I'm more:

- Does it handle well?
- How fast is it?
- Does it have reasonable to good mpg?
- Can I have the one without the hundreds of buttons on the dash?
- Why do I need built in sat nav? (Why do I need a sat nav at all?)
- I'm the driver, who cares if the passenger wants their own temperature control, they should be grateful for the lift.
