Yeah been hunting but will have to be an E90 or 91 as the chances of me getting a coupe past the wife with a family is slim at best!!

I'd use the argument you used to have one no problem. Depends how old the kid(s) are. My 2 can happily get in the back themselves now so not an issue.

My problem is mine is coming up to 1 and there will be another on the way before too long.

I hate to say it having a four door has been easier....

On the bright side by the time they are big enough to climb in themselves I should be on the market for a 435

It was always one of my favourite Greg, really understated and subtle. I like that. Always loved the Cades as you know!

What are you driving now?

Yup then fair dos buddy. With mine at those ages etc I had the 330d, 530d, M5 and the X5 so agreed it's way easier.

And yes the positive is the 435 on the horizon lol

Gold, just painted with smooth hammerite. Took a day to do all four calipers.

As a kid I used to hop in and out of my mums 2 door escort and fiestas. I'm sure you could swing it mate. It's not that difficult getting a little one in the back for a while.

You boys not met my wife, its about grief vs reward!!

The constant nagging would ruin my happiness with the car!

A couple of years and i'll be back in a coupe i'm sure in the meantime a debadged touring would be good fun....
