LPG. You wanted V8?

So XF 3.0d? Good prices, spec. Only sat in one, but great driving position. Nice centre arm rest position like Omega

No LPG. I have 2 perfectly good cars with LPG. But no rather boot

I fancy an XF, but in this case does not meet criteria.

The compromises I will have to make are:
Not V8
Not fast
Not fun

[TheBoy]

Oh think all XFs are autos 

Some (all?) have flappy paddles, and decent enough ratios. I could live with that. If I have to compromise on to autos, must be a minimum of 6 speed.

WTF wants a manual Jaaag?  There's also those that spec Jags without leather 

and then you have a lemon when it comes to selling it 

[tunnie]

So Audi RS6 then, manual, V8.

But no high MPG. So has to be diesel?

Can't have your cake & eat it, even though it looks like you have

Leather, thanks Andy B, that reminds me...

NO rather LEATHER!!!

He said manual after I said XF (which are all auto)

Pretty much...  ...or a small shitbox

Rover!

NEXT!

Hold on. Oppsing diesel...?

Has someone hacked your account?

So which is it?

Performance = V8
Reality = Diesel

Limited to BMW & Audi as they are about the only to make fast V8 diesels

Oh, and manual. It MUST be manual. I'm missing my fix.

Diesel Vectra C estate ticks every box, and get the colour right, the facelift is pretty sharp... needs to be either Moonstone, silver or white

Better boot and rear space than the hatch/Omega too...

[Andy B]

Leather, thanks Andy B, that reminds me...

Get a Merc then ...... loads of them have Artico instead of proper leather - like mine   (the 'suede' in the middle of my seats isn't particularly wearing well  )

Stop flogging the hopeless Vectra C. Its a horrid, horrid, ugly, box.

No point having a V8 if it runs on treacle. So forget V8.

I considered another 25 (diesel), even though it doesn't meet requirements, as cheap, fun and cheap to run.

But every single one has been owned by a chav, and money spent one boomboxes and undercar lighting, rather than a bit of oil every year.

Sorry but that's simply not the case. Every single one I see has a blue rinse in it and is bloody mint Afaict anyway. Just mug an old lady and be done.
