    Forced to grow up

    A new arrival has caused a few changes at the RoganJosh household,

    Had to sell my TT due to lack of rear seat space


    Traded in against a BMW 320i Sports Saloon, in Imola Red
    Wise old man won't you help me please? My house is a squash and a squeeze.

    Well, the TT was made to order, had better grip, better sound system (BOSE), traction and more power - but the BMW has 4 doors, loads of back seat space, huge caverous boot and a V6 with a fantastic engine note.
    I still have pangs of remorse about selling it so quickly and losing 6.5k in the process. But I'm enjoying the BMW - it has character - the rear wheel drive with LSD is interesting to say the least.

    I like the TT, very nice, but I also like Beemers... both very nice cars. Lucky you to have the choice!

    i would never drive a 3-series personally.. they're apparently great cars but i dislike the image that most of the people who drive them give it (namely sales reps). still, im sure you'll have fun in yours.. you can always upgrade the sound system, and at least this car drives the right wheels

    So you gave up the hairdressing job then?

    Good choice with the beemer just make sure you don't start acting like a beemer driver and you'll be fine

    Not unless you want to stunt its growth.

    @ the TT - your one had an uprated audisport ginger spoiler? No wonder it handles so bloody well
