    Since us farmers are suppose to be 'cashing' it in these days :rolleyes:

    What is your car that you drive ?
    Any one driving around in a new / nearly new BMW's/ Merc's / Jag's etc. ?

    Myself a modest 2003 audi a4 1.9 tdi 130 bhp 140,000 miles

    Ive a funny feeling most of us will hardly be driving a car worth over €6000 :D

    05 alfa gt, worth about 5/6k. To me its worth wayy more then any shiny new 2012 golf/toyotas, and even many bmws etc etc, which are just boring run of the mill cars and in the 1st year are probably going to loose more money then my car is worth!

    Keep the roads between the greenery and we'll hit the half million in another 10-12 years:D
