I'd been looking around at something to replace the Skoda, as I think we've previously discussed.. anyway, I started off looking at Mini Clubmans (Clubmen?) as I quite like driving her indoors' Cooper S, then as I couldn't find the "unicorn" car started looking at other things..

Things that can tow a reasonable weight, have a decent boot etc.

Looked at E60 Touring - nice, mostly 2.0 dervs, did see one very nice red car but it sold before I could get there.
Looked at pickups as I miss the Ranger, but without paying 4x my budget you're looking at very old examples with interstellar mileage
Looked at Touaregs..

..found myself looking at the V10 TDI Touaregs
..decided I maybe wanted one I found not too far away, but wasn't convinced due to the hideous economy figures
..but that one broke down before I could get there and is no longer available

Because I never got to look at it, I now desperately want it

I am a fickle creature

Have you considered counselling?

Uncle STEMO maybe able to advise on a good place

 Have you considered the Nissan Pathfinder?

Wait .. are you saying this isn't just one big group therapy session!?

Have you considered the Nissan Pathfinder?

Good call, actually - I like those in a perverse kind of way, should go and have a look at one. A shame we didn't get the same range of engines as the US, though, because the 5.6 V8 would have been nice

Transit sport. Vivaro sport.

If I get one of those then her indoors really will get a St Bernard!

What a dreary selection of cars you've ben looking at.......

Surely a young stud about town such as yourself should be more interested in cars that are more white hot and less white goods.......

Get that Cobra sorted you lazy ba.............

Clubman? That's hardly gender neutral, is it? The Mini Clubthing, that has a certain ring to it.

The Mini "about time they Clubbed it to death and thought of something original"?

Not a car a heterosexual bloke would drive, surely? I think that counselling is well overdue.

A lad at work has one. Fuel economy isn't as hideous as you might think

How about this instead of the VW Toerag?

Practical and petrol.

The budget is around £7k .. I'd need a whole extra zero to make it to F-Pace SVR territory

I think the Mini Club-It has a better ring to it!

Funny that, as a black Towrag caught my eye yesterday in Costco's carpark and I started thinking "Hmmmm"
