Where's the mighty Threaded?
As I was saying to the King of Denmark just the other day (whilst we were riding our horses on the moon, and being chased by a thousand beautiful diplomats diving Lamborghinis) “That Threaded. He just makes stuff up”.
“Yes”, replied the king, “Fancy a go on the dodgems?”Comment

No and never did have. I think MikeTheBike was the Margaret Beckett of CUK.Comment

The family is growing ..
You might as well get a people carrier, that's won't do much more damage.
And yes, I do know that families are more than just environmental impact.Comment

You could always try the Peugot 807 - lots of bells and whistles (power doors, airbags for every seat etc) & NCAP 5-star safety rating - go for the diesel, though - I've got the previous model (in its Citroen incarnation), with 2-litre petrol engine, and it only gets about 32 mpg. (though it'll happily cruise at a 100+ for hours at a time fully loaded - did that once on the A6 down to Lyon). I think top of the range is about 25 grand
The Grand Voyager looks good, but IIRC has a lousy safety rating The frontal impact protection is so poor that if two of them ran into each other head-on, your protection was equivalent to several sheets of cardboard. Mind you that was a couple of years ago, so they might have improved it.Comment

Ok 807 sounds good - after my last 3 new car cars being french I had hoped to try another country. Decisions, decisions.Comment
