Russ's 2.1 SED Auto now in Mandarin

The Volvo is on a lease. It's time is up. New employer means no lease car so having to spend my own money. Need more space in the back for my mother and more practicality. I have been using the XM for lots of rather messy and junky jobs simply because it is my biggest car.
The Yeti is something a bit quirky yet sensible. It is pretty full fat, no blank switches!
I do 25,000 mile per annum in my main car and typically spend 2.5 hours plus a day driving, I like my creature comforts.

Sounds like a good option. The fact it is a bit quirky is appealing. At least it isn't another dull Passat estate!

Has anyone noticed the amount of VW caravelle van things about. There are two that live in this street alone.

Didn't you know...
On the school run every Mummy has to have a 4x4/soft roader and every Dad has to have a Transporter Caravelle...

Every middle aged family man is now a Surf Dude...Bondi beach, Newquay...Peckham springs.

That explains everything, and I can tell you the owners in this street who have them fit that profile perfectly!
It's a flipping epidemic. I'll have no part of it!

Good lord. And that's before they start pimping them with alloys ect.

I'd rather have a new Hvan jumpy face lifted thing. At least that has some cheesy retro character.

Yup, you have to be a certifiable lunatic to buy one.
If you go for the high output engine, 4x4 driveline, leather, pearl paint and alloy wheels etc your at 55k

Fully loaded Yeti, £13700

Totally agree about the mad prices for anything VW.

What's the poor Mitsubishi ever done to you Rob?

A question, what's the best way to clean the head?
I haven't got a power washer, is there a nifty cleaner like engine degreaser, or something else?
