Workhorse recommendation

Mentioning the Golf R reminded me of this. Next door has just bought a Mercedes Vito Crew Van. Whole family love it and if going out together they now favour it over their Golf R. The eldest gets his MX bike in the back, so you should have room for a track bike with its wheels still on.

I think top management would have a view on that and it would not be good.

I have just discovered you can get a bike roof rack for a 911, maybe they have a Labrador rack as well?

Looks like the v90 always has an auto box. I do not feel ready for an auto yet. Am I just being old fashioned? I like to change gear when I want it to change. The f pace I tried changed gear at some odd times, going round a corner when I was trying to push the nose out with understeer.

I recently did some work for Mercedes dealer in Wolves … The V Class crew bus they used to drive us around was 65K !

I just could not consider such hideousness as a Vito family wagon

I was thinking about a Golf-R estate as our family of 5 workhorse. My Missus said it looked too blingy and that she likes her S-Max. If one of those cracking lease deals comes up on the latest model year I might just order a low-key one and surprise her. Anyways Golf is supposed to be all the car anyone needs isn’t it? There’s also the Seat Leon equivalent too.
