    Damn right Marco.

    A tidy MGB GT would do me. All simple low tech that I can sort myself (apart from rebuilding the tricky overdrive unit ).
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    It is a newish key Grant. Cost me £60 when I had it made at the time I bought the car six months ago. If I can find the receipt, I'll be taking it back for a once over.

    I'd keep both keys on me for a while just in case. Might have been a dodgy one; sure he will replace it.

    Recently bought a new key for my 1989 Volvo 340, was disgusted, cost me £6, what a rip off! That's nearly as much as the car is worth!

    New Bentley Bentayga SUV.

    It's an ugly bugger. Looks like they went to Chrysler or Ssangyong for styling advice.

    SUVs do nothing for me, as I like to be low-down on the road (to experience a greater sense of speed), not high up.

    Unless you need an off-roader or four-wheel drive for practical reasons, I simply don't see their point - and if I did need that, I'd buy something tried and tested, such as a Landie or Range Rover, not that blinged-up pretentious monstrosity!
