              Important questions:

              Cupholder position - is it optimum?
              Is it SHINY red?
              Is it pretty?
              Cupholder: Mid position with a do-hicky that changes it to a ipood holder

              VERY shiny

                I think you could easily hang a handbag on me. But apparently many men in their 40s would struggle.

                      Yes anyone that tells me I don't pay tax is getting punched in the face. The Vat I paid on this car is more than most plebs earn in a year...

                      You are only seeing depreciation. What about the fact that every time I drive to a clients site I get to do so in total comfort and luxury instead of clambering out of an old banger with a sore back?

                      You live in London and mostly work from home, so I would not expect you to understand or care much about cars. If I drive to a clients site, most of the time its at least a 200 mile round trip. I figure I would like to own a car that is comfortable and luxurious. The next model won't show up till at least 2020, Most other people will have had several cars by then I am just spreading the money differently.
