No probs, I think most BMW drivers are tossers too (actually most people
who don't know me probably think I'm a tosser, but I can live with
that). The VX220 came out really well against the Ferrari 360 on one of
the motoring programs last week, but one thing I will pass on for free,
is some advice that I was given by a friend of mine in the trade.

A few years ago it became very difficult to sell (mid-range) cars
without aircon. The same is becoming true of mid-range cars without
sat-nav. Give it a couple of years and I think it will become standard
