and it drags on.......... so far it's came down to the following

Mini Cooper (New) or Cooper-s(old shape)
VW Golf
Audi A3
VW Beetle (WTF

but it's cheap)

I would have a cooper-s or an A3 S-line, she also mentioned a scooter while keeping a straight face

As this rate she'll be getting a Zone card

I'm too lazy to type anything constructive, but I do agree with the point above!

It's a far better looking car than the Z3 - still wouldn't have either.

strangely, I liked the looks of Z3 coupe... but not the Z3 roadster particularly.

I guess it's like getting a shirt that's so bogging that it's cool... it goes beyond bogging. But if it doesn't cross that line, it is just bogging.

Similarly, I like the Z4 coupe and Cayman more than the Z4 roadster/Boxster

You cant wait to get your shades on, lower the hood, and go cruising in your SLK.

The bird is now carless till she returns from London, but you can be sure that when the car-choosing is taking place the only things on the shortlist will be things I`d happily drive

. Out of those mentioned I`d go Box or A4Cab.
