So let me get this right, you`re not chopping in the Passat for a new Ka
then?

Most certainly is, squire. Only other option would be, um, one of *those*
engines. We all know how I feel about Dr Diesels Evil Invention.

I drove a hired Seicento poverty model from Amsterdam to Brussels a few
years ago. Thrashed it to within an inch of its life all the way there, and
just sat at, um, 90ish all the way back.
Cost me the equivalent of £14.00 in fuel to do something daft like 500 km.
Comfier than the train though.
