    Likewise - how utterly ridiculous... go buy a Touran (and harden the hell up!)

    I'm very happy with the ground clearance of the R36, higher than my old XR6T and no need to go over speed humps/driveways at an angle. No ramp over issues at my parents place either which always meant a loud centre muffer scrape on the XR6T.

    I wouldn't want it any lower though, my wife has already caused the lower drivers side part of the front bumper to rub against a kerb...

    I only need one... the Q7 is Dad's, the GTI iss Mum's toy, and the R36 is mine (well, I went halves with the folks rather than buying two of the same kind of car).

    There's also a 91 Landcruiser hidden in there, but that hasn't been driven for months

    I'm in Thailand and have been in South East Asia for about six weeks, so I'm missing my car... I hope it's not feeling too neglected

    Oh I see. I'm starting to like the R36's the best out of the lot.
