Is it actually a beamer ?

Or just a badged hyundai or something similar ?

The A class merc doesnt seem to be doing them any harm, so why not a beamer ?

Just think you could have more kids, and get them in and out a lot easier lol

I looked at people carriers,( I have three horrors), the seat seemed the best value on the mainland, although if you dont want full size the vauxhall zafira isnt a bad drive.

What put me off in the end was the close proximity of the rear passengers to the outside of the car, not much protection in a rear end shunt, and a few of them, like the renault are plastic.

Didn't say much about the rear end statistics. Nigel is right those things are great if you remove the rear seats and don't make use of them??

Thats true Derek, but removes the reason for thinking of one in the first place ( I didnt buy one in the end, as I wasnt happy with the rear seats).

With my three horrors if they are sitting next to each other, you get " He's leaning on me, she's touched me, she keeps resting her arm on me" etc.

I like the advert for the vauxhall where the rear seperated from the front........if only that was true.

I think back and wonder why I didnt just use contraception lol

we were saying how the MPV was ugly and how your wife would make you get an MPV just to make you feel less of a man so you won't have the courage to have an affair

oh no wait, that was me just thinking

My wife dreams of someone running off with me !!!!

I've heard rumours she's been advertising lol

Is this new baby beamer really a beamer, or something badged, as is so often the case now.
