Sorry - how *****y.
I've been tempted myself to spend a few bob on a luxury car - they seem to be stunning value at present.
Trouble is, I know two self made millionaires. One once said to me 'Affluence breeds success' Steve, and ran a Rolls. The other one drives an Escort with a roof rack. Guess which one I regard as a mentor....

Hey Steve

I see you have just discovered you can't say b1tch round here. I think it's probably a very bad word in the States, or something.

My new job involves travel. Not much right now, but will be much more serious in the not too distant future. I've just done a lot of calculations, and have come to the same conclusion as Dave. Unless the mileage is intergalactic it is not necessarily a given that the diesel will be absolutely necessary to have. I'm keeping my petrol car, for now.

If fuel costs for me get to around €150 per week, then I'll consider changing to a diesel. I'm not about to save money in one pocket through buying less fuel, but hand out more money in capital to a dealer from the other pocket just because diesels make premium prices and dealers like high prices.

You can guess which of your millionaire friends I would pick for a mentor.
