With the fuzz seemingly getting tighter on speeding (not because it's a handy cash-cow for them, honest), is it time to trade in the two-seater for something more sedate and luxurious? That's without half the motorways up north a constant 50 zone with roadworks and smart motorway upgrades.

Car quandry
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist -
Why not just use the right hand one of these a little less?
'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!! -
Yep, I've owned a few two seater sporty cars, and they make no sense whatsoever now with:
Third world road surfaces
Speeding is worse that child murder mentality
Cashcow of speed tax
Gridlock everywhere 24/7
Crazy immigrant drivers that clearly can't drive ready to wipe you out
So given the above, a softroader (4 wheel drive to cope with the road surfaces and the snow/ice that doesn't exist anymore due to global warming ), air suspension, big heated leather, entertainment system is what you are looking for.Comment

I am, honest, I was waiting for someone to mention cars just to say I'm going to buy a porsche. Obviously, some twat will turn up now and say you are not a proper contractor if it's second-hand, bastard.Comment
