SUVs make up more than 40% of new cars sold in the UK – while fully electric vehicles account for less than 2%

I can get more fishing gear in the WagonR than I can in the Qashqai. Plus I get less directed anger from Mrs S.
 
Mind you hybrids have the same problem. The hybrid e-classes turned out to be totally shit for PCO work because you can't get even two people's luggage in the boot which is mostly taken up by battery.
 
And yet seen as not a proper 'status' car. I've had actual written complaints from customers for sending an e-class estate to do 'executive' work.

The RS6 only comes in estate form now, one is the most bad arsed motors you can buy today. The ability to do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds with four passengers and a brace of labradors in the back is something all right thinking people need...

I'm talking about the kind of arsehole who'll refuse to get in a brand new S class because it's the wrong colour. Or turn away a 7 series or A8 cause it's not a merc. There's some proper wankers out there.

This and to some extent the 'SUVs have no space' problem is a product of evolutionary bodges rather than holistic design. Batteries shoehorned into conventional cars, rather than a car designed around batteries, inherently have space restrictions. SUVs with large bodies built on existing small platforms as a response to the market direction also inherit some of the small car restrictions, as well as some new ones from the awkward packaging.

I think you got them to the airport and I take over from there.

"He says his seat is not on the upper deck, he must have a seat on the upper deck!"

"It's a 777"

"He will not travel unless he can sit upstairs!"

:rolleyes:
 
Just strap the cunt to the fuselage.


The best bit is when you get him in to the upper deck and he comes back and the complaint comes in, "Some others on the trip got a free upgrade to first, a BA promotion, why wasn't he offered that?"

"First class is on the lower deck..."

Have you ever actually had someone say that?
 
If you need space in a car an estate is the way to go. At Christmas we were loaned a massive Merc SUV whilst our car went in for repairs, it was huge, designed to look powerful and intimidating, yet the cabin and boot were smaller than our estate car. It was sluggish away from the lights, rolled around like a boat and the MPG was shocking. They sell like hot cakes.
In fairness, you’re comparing a twin turbo A6, one of the quickest and best handling estates on the roads, to a Merc ML, which is a shed designed to pull boats and caravans. A Macan Turbo would be a better comparison.
 
Yes, on many occasions. Some people who fly a lot can be massive bellends.

I have one prick who will not travel unless he can have seat 1A on European flights, to the extent that board meetings that have been arranged over 12 months in advance need to be moved to accommodate him.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
 
And it is the secretaries that say this shit to me, on the orders of their dick-brained bosses.

The savvy traveller calls me directly, sends me champers at Xmas and that. If flying is a large part of your life, building a rapport with the travel agent is a good idea.

The RS6 is probably the most awesomely silly car on the market. It is to estate cars what Concorde was to airliners.

B77L and B77W have two crew rest areas with bunks on an upper deck at front and rear of Y-class. See if you can get him in there.
 
Not my experience at all.
All the stuff you hear about drivers of 'X' being bigger dickheads than drivers of 'Y' is nonsense and almost always selectively recalled or fabricated to suit whatever prejudice one is currently trying to support (see that preposterous claim upthread that drivers are 3% less likely to yield at crossings per $1000 they spend on their cars). In reality I suspect that percentage-wise, just as many twats drive Fords as Audis and estates as saloons. The exceptions are vehicles that have been retrofitted with styling mods, window tints, or aftermarket exhaust systems, all of which are sure signs of a fucktoad within.
