Our new family car is a Skoda Octavia, a decent sized estate, which looks more or less like this. It does everything we need and it's not as tall, as heavy or as big as the most popular American SUV types.

For all of you youths. This was such a great and very compact PDA. There's a lot to be said for a well designed physical keyboard and clamshell design. It was so much easier to type with.

It's also a mystery to me how some people live like this. The previous inhabitants kept cats and lived with cat pee soaked carpets.... Even the chipboard underneath the carpet and underlay is covered in stains.
