Summer is upon us; let the grilling and smoking commence!

Yes, I suspect Neil didnt get the memo about the mandatory vulva required to drive one.

Speaking of which, my OH has replaced here mandatory vulva car with a VW Eos, which is like a nice version of the Pasaaaat

Nonsense. It lacks the gravitas of the Passat. It looks a bit squashed. Even so, it must be galling that your chick has a better car than you, no?

Driven hard, an MX5 is one of the most entertaining cars money can buy. Any money. The combination of relatively low power, lightness, proper old-fashioned rear wheel drive oversteer and skinny tyres makes the thing truly good fun at reasonably low speeds. But it looks like the conveyance of a steaming great pooftah.

Driving is never fun unless you're on the dodgems.

I was at the motor show when that was launched. It was on a turntable, slowly revolving, and I swear that after a couple of revolutions I couldn't work out which end was the front and which the back.

Yes. But only people like you actually care about all that silly driving stuff. The rest of us are much more concerned about not looking like heemasexes. I'll bet there aren't any heemasexes with VW Passats. They're put off by its rugged manliness and clear heterosexuality.

Driving is lots of fun to millions of other people, sw. Your personal deficiencies in the Manly areas are for you to deal with.

Yes, it's like you're over-compensating.

There's nothing wrong with it, b.

I think the moral is clear. When a pooftah's car attempts to rear-end a proper man's car like the Passat, the Passat is not having it and the rear-ender will come away from the encounter very much the worse for wear.

Are you the type of person who will get in your car on a weekend and just “go for a drive”???

No.

You use buses, don't you?

I quite enjoy it. Certain places I dread going to in the car but I like it. It's like a video game for me.
