Which one of you has the clowns car to match? Well that could be either of you, depending on the individual taste of the reader.
Keep it going lads.
I'm going to struggle with a base colour of green, I need something far more appropriate

Ooooh, Paul, I challenge you to a high-jump. Shall we start at 18" and work our way down? I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

The Volvos destroy the land rovers for reliability and build quality, however, a Land Rover is a Land Rover so I always go back!
Oddly enough, my old man’s Phase 2 V70 D5 (one of the best cars that they’ve built over the last 15 years ), that I sourced for him about 5 years ago, has just died and needs a new dual mass flywheel and clutch at just 100,000 miles. I wouldn’t say “destroy” myself 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

25. Citroen
24. Renault
23. Fiat
22. Vauxhall
21. BMW
20. Mercedes
19. Mini

Presumably ....but then you seem to say that on the basis that no other manufacturer suffers from engine failure of one sort or another to a tiny proportion of their vehicles

It’s only tiny until it happens to you, then it’s not so tiny.
