@Edmund
I don't worship any more, ten years in the trade can do that, but I have seen people whose entire disposable income goes on their motors, just to out-do the neighbours.

I quite respect the true racing/driving fanatics, and personally love older cars, but some Yummy Mummy pledging the family budget in perpetuity so she can have a larger SUV for the school run just seems silly. And profitable. Very, very profitable.



@Stig - the glee with which the prestige manufacturers libel each other senseless is well known. Ford's takeover of Jag/Aston etc gave us all much fun describing them as posh Fords (although TBF Aston switchgear etc...). Now of course, it's 'nice Tata, mate'
