Yeah but I opted for the special edition, made from unicorns horn stuck together with pixie dust and fairies tears. Cost a little more but worth every penny.

He was very nice about it while he was counting the money though, said not to worry about the staggering amount of pollution it created as no one cared as it didn't have a VW badge on it so nobody would ever notice, and he's right! Cool!

Unlike VW, at least he didn't try to hide the fact. Diesels: dirty smelly ugly sounding things.

Actually, these days, with dpf, egr, catalysts and urea injection, a modern diesel is cleaner than a three year old petrol engine. And in some cases cleaner than a new one! Many, including mine can easily pass the white handkerchief test. Ugly sounding? Well , you've got me on that one.

I took all my emissions gubbins out and fitted a huge great big turbo instead.
Much better.


Also, Jeep Cherokes' are awful cars.
