Re: Proper Petrolheads...
Dodgy taste in colours Matt! But those are Truly Scrumptious! Me want, no can have on company scheme
 (I can have the 1.6 diesel if I was a very good boy!)Does it shift in 140bhp form? Can you fit a bike in the back of it?

Re: Proper Petrolheads...
I have got a rack that will go on the back, or will just stick the bike in the back - the boot is hooooge. 140bhp is more than enough to still have a bit of fun, just flick it in to Dynamic mode and the throttle response/brakes/torque are all tweaked for added giggles.
The 170 diesel bloody flies but I couldn't really justify the extra £30 a month for it
