Wait, aren't you a student doctor who lives in digs and is constantly complaining about their pay? Or am I getting you confused with someone else.

I'm not a student doctor. I'm a proper doctor.

I don't complain about my job. I Love it. I may complain at times that I'm under paid as I only make £16 per hour but that's another story.

And yes I live in the hospital accommodation it's a compete hole and really uncomfortable.

Surely not?

Indeed.

I found an identical example to my one for sale and I nearly choked on my lunch when I saw the price!

Second hand car market here just is not very big. So prices stay high.

I knew you'd be in to pick holes, you did really well to last 22 minutes! Just get over it and move on.

Anyways nice to see a fellow R owner

Whats the full spec you got there ?

Had my R for almost 8 months now , albeit a semi loaded Mk7 one. The additional options i would go for is the DLA and maybe the Akrapovic exhaust.

Not convinced about the new Active Info Display , im old fashioned and like analogue dials, but im sure can get used to it.

Main attraction is the new 7 speed DSG over the old 6 speed . Should maybe eek out a few more mpgs on the motorway.

You need to teach me how to manage money as I'd love to have had some of the cars you have.

Listen : just because you don't like the UK number plate system because it reveals that you run clapped out bangers, doesn't mean people shouldn't post their plates if they feel like it. I like seeing it as it hints at a lot of useful information quickly and easily.

Saying it's because he's showing off a new car is just ridiculous, especially in this case.

I'm with Worthy on this one.

ChrisD. · 17 May 2017 at 09:37

I don't see why there's such a discussion on it, it's like a playground in Motors at times.

Can we see more cars please?

Participant · 17 May 2017 at 09:46

Annoyingly good car, because I want a new one but cannot justify it when this is probably worth about £3k and is costing me very little.

Dav4 · 17 May 2017 at 12:27

Surely your Volvo is worth more than 3k :eek:

still a fresh quality looking car that even though it's 10 years old. You would have to spend way over 10k for a worthy replacement imo just wouldn't be worth it

Not sure, that's just based on a 30 second WBAC quote. Maybe £3.5k-£4k privately? It's in good nick, no faults, good tyres, services up to date etc., 90k miles.

[TW]Fox · 17 May 2017 at 13:01

Very nice that Volvo, helped by the fact Volvo don't ever seem to know when to stop making a car so it looks largely the same as a 2015 one.

After this recent condversation this was exactly what i was going to post if i still owned car...

Mad_Jay · 20 May 2017 at 21:28

Gave the Camaro a good clean today, I've owned this car 10 months now and it still puts a smile on my face every time I step inside. It shall be coming home with me onto British roads summer next year, wondering how it will handle them!

Beautiful looking motor mate... such an aggressive front end :eek:

Ashdown Forest, this morning.

Picked up my new Abarth 595 Competitzione yesterday.

Cheeky one of the carbon backed Sabelts!

Very smart mate.. those seats :eek:

peterwalkley · 21 May 2017 at 16:12

Are those seats ISOFIX compatible

Maybe I'm getting old, but they look like a child's toy to me.

Jester* · 21 May 2017 at 16:37

They are a toy. But it was the most fun and rowdy toy I test drove. So I had to buy one

Princey · 21 May 2017 at 17:06

How do you find the general refinement when driving normally? My girlfriend has a standard 500 albeit a 2011 so they may have improved things but the road noise is pretty bad.
