That's why we drive Land Rovers.

Never had a go in an old rear engined VW then? Plenty of quirks there, and a fair few bits that aren't perfect!
Not sure I agree with modern german cars being so perfect they are soleless, I think being well engineered with detail IS part of their carictor! You can tell someones put far too much thort into little details that aren't really that important but make you (well me) grin when you notice them. That said many new german cars don't have enough carictor for me, my Dad has a very nice new VW Caravelle which is a good vehicle, but in 5 years time when they replace it with the next model I can't seem myself missing the old one. The real sole less cars are usally the Japanese cars, technicly they are often very good but you don't get any passion from them, its just a car that'll be replaced in afew years.
Do I like the R8? Very much so, and a diesel version makes it a pritty significant machine. All the work they are putting in at Le Mans, sucsessfully, it makes sence for them to start offering a mental diesel road car for the (rich) public.

I see someone is being annoyed by people calling the Prius silly names. do you own one?
My mate had one and it was awful. build quality was pathetic and it never ever did the mpg he was told it should.
i had to have a lift in it once and the worst thing was people pointing and laffing at us =;
he sold it and bought a land rover (silly boy) but is much happier.

Thanks for pointing that out for me! Yes, I'm suvearly dyslexic and have the spelling age of an 11 yearold. Like eveyone else who doesn't understand, you'll probubly be wondering why I don't just use a spellchecker? Simple, I don't know which word in the massive list is the right one, infact I'm often so far out the right word isn't even on the list. Since you probubly still understood what I typed, maybe you could help me by proofreading it? I do actully try my best to iron out the glering mistakes that I can spot before posting, but there becomes a point when spending 15 minutes on a post isn't worth it. Things are often spelt foneticly but, as you may notice, I can change how I think a word might be spelt at any time so it varies within a document. Maybe I should just disapear and leave this sort of forum stuff to the more naturally gifted. Maybe I should just give up instead of struggle through my Degree? Where should this stop? Sereously though I think I'm much better at copeing with written/typed stuff when I use forums and stuff regularly, so MC helps. Thanks for putting up with me, I'm used to people taking the [throw it]. If you met me in person you'd probubly find I'm a bit different to how I seem on a forum, I have a carictor of sort though - bad spelling is my online carictor!
I'm not a perticular fan of jap cars it must be said, maybe thats because so many have stupid names I can't read, there are plenty of euro brands with silly names too though, I hate them all!
