    Demise of the A class?

    :D Don't say it... whenever the roadster or vaneo goes in for anything, I always return from the service desk to find her stood in the showroom, usually between an R and a GL!

    Demise of the A class?

    Yes, the B-class has 544litres, nearly equal to an S-class with 550litres. However, when you have a family that can fill 715litres camping etc, you can't replace it with anything as "small" externally as a vaneo. I think I'll just have to replace with something huge, s-max or viano etc...

    Demise of the A class?

    Agreed, it's a golf plus not a zafira / scenic. If you have three kids, and need a big boot, the b-class just isn't designed for that job. That said, we don't all want something the (external) size of a previa \ voyager either. It replaced the vaneo, according to MB sales staff, only it...

    Demise of the A class?

    Our Vaneo wasn't bought for image, but second hand, it was the same cost as a berlingo with more space, better build quality, and (in the uk ;) ) I've never seen a vaneo "van". In the school mum test, friends with zafiras and scenics have commented how much better designed the Vaneo is. At...

    BMW 325i SE Touring

    Not defected, well only from Smart, the merc remains "the family bus". Picked this up yesterday, company motor to pile the miles on: 215bhp, and a straight six that makes a nice noise. Think I'll enjoy this one.

    FREE Electrolux cooker.

    Gas hob, electric oven, free standing dark green cooker. This was purchased about 5yrs ago, used for 2mths then put into storage. We're moving house again and won't use it there either so it's free to anyone to collect from Bolton.

    New Brabus styled special edition V6 Vito

    To be fair to Ford, I think they were paying homage to the GT40 rather than a viper. (it still doesn't work tho :D )

    Roof Rails Vito / Vaneo

    Try ebay? Have seen a few commercial resellers from germany. Oh, and get Viano roof rails, I doubt Vaneo rails will fit.

    If you won the lottery tommrrow what car would you buy first ?

    First? Well most of the things you guys have specified would have to be sourced, whereas I reckon I'd start with something relatively easy to obtain. R63 or GL63, give it to the wife to take the kids off on a massive shopping spree... Whilst there, probably pick up an SLK 200 with a few toys...

    new c class estate breaks cover!

    Shame, the w203 estate was elegant, that has a bit too much fabia about it from the rear, especially under the lights.
