I never expected it to get this long thats for sure.
Ive had advice on everything from careers to finance and the perils of modern diesels.
It has genuinely helped though as my mind has been changed quite considerably fromwhat I originally wanted.
Im now spending some time looking into all the essential child kit so I know what I need to fit into a car with two kids.
I can see a fair few options as yet although the attraction of low CO2 and long warranty are extremely appealing for long term ownership!

Is this in fact the longest ever thread?!
What about Murphy the Cat's thread, waxing lyrical about his Chrysler 300D (I think)

Have you thought about the effect your car will have on your business? If you use a van ignore this but if you turn up in your car it might be relevant.
If I was going to pay somebody proper money to do a job I could otherwise do myself - valet my car - I would want somebody who appreciates cars properly to do that job for me. If you turned up in a Kia Rio, I'd not be confident you had the passion in cars required to give the attention to detail that justifies paying somebody to do such a job.

"If I was going to pay somebody proper money to do a job I could otherwise do myself - valet my car - I would want somebody who appreciates cars properly to do that job for me."
You're usually spot on in most of the threads you contribute to MichaelR but that's pants.
I'm designing a brochure for articulated haulers at the moment and I've done a spiffing job despite never driving one. I've just finished a Tutankhamen book which is the dog's wotsits - although I've never met the guy or even been to Egypt. Did a fantastic F1 coffee table book earlier this year - guess what? - I never even made it onto the podium. I do a lot of cookery books but I've no idea where the kitchen is in my house.
All that Stunorthants would have to do to valet my car is to turn up with a bucket.

It was said earlier in this epic thread - for a long term proposition, buy something you love, a car you are passionate about, a car that moves your soul etc etc (revert to Clarkson nonsense blah, blah, blah).
If that car happens to be a Subaru Justy, then so be it.
Not sure I fully agree with you BBD, I don?t think you analogy holds, as your skills are not content specific. But Michael's point is not entirely correct either; IMHO, if the Kia was nice and clean, then it?s an okay advert for a valet in my view. Expectations of a valet are not so high surely.
But much better than that would be a shiny old Rover, still going strong after all these years - that would be an advert for the business, I would say....
