I'll see your Saab
and raise you a Vauxhall Insignia, with a sensible 1.8l engine.

I'll see your Vauxhall Insignia
and raise you a Jaguar S-Type, with an altogether less than sensible 2.7L V6 engine.

Ouch.
Although, I'm almost old enough now to think buying a Jensen Interceptor for weekend fun is a good idea.

7.2 litre V8. Maybe not.

Depends if your idea of weekend fun = high speed death.
I do love old cars though, hence the Jag as it's the closest I can get without driving something that'll explode at the merest brush with 40mph.

Yeah, but it's gotta be done.
Sometime in the next 5 years, I will get myself a proper toy.

Maybe a triumph Stag, which is half way.

Oh aye.
I thought the owners were a bit oddly fanatical about them until I drove one. Cost fuck all second hand as well.

I drive a Skoda and do you know what? It's actually rather good.
Pass the pipe and slippers please...

I sold a Skoda to buy a Saab.
I think that's probably the royal flush, here.

I used to have a Porsche. I now have a Volvo diesel estate.
I prefer the Volvo.

I seem to have somehow bought a Volvo estate
It was cheap
My car had died and I needed one for work
It was nearby, and is likely to be reliable

I keep repeating these facts to myself and trying to forget that my dad was also 33 when he first bought a Volvo ....
