Car shopping

Lots to consider when unpacking your stuff into a new house. Should you put On Her Majesty's Secret Service between You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever, or keep the Connery's together? Do you include the works of Anderson Bruford Wakeman and Howe as part of the wider Yes cannon or keep them seperate?

Lots to consider when buying a car too. Comfort. Economy. Reliability. Kudos. It's important when making big decisions I think to consult older, wiser heads, so I've been mulling over this quote from Clarkson:

Speed is useful. Speed means we can get where we're going quicker, which means we can see more, do more and learn more. Speed makes us cleverer.

Speed also means we can leave work later and get home sooner so it makes us richer, and our families more stable.

Speed means we can have a more varied diet because we can have fresher produce from further afield every day in our local shop. Speed therefore makes us healthier.

Speed means we can expand our horizons. It means we can explore strange new worlds and new civilisations, like Cheshire and Norfolk. And Wales. This gives us a better understanding of the world and its peoples, and that makes us more tolerant. Speed brings peace.
