		So my 306 is going into the garage today for the bumper to be repaired and the insurance company have providided me with a hire car! Can you guess what it is?  
It's a mid size car with either a 1.4 or 1.5l engine and it's from the hire companies executive range.  
Its just been delivered but my old man won't tell me what it is so I genuinely won't know till I'm home

No as I said, I don't know what it is. I asked them yesterday and all they told me was it would be 1.4-1.5 and from there executive range.  
Will find out when I get home!

You do when it's the other insurance company paying for it! They asked me what sort of range car I wanted. The bloke laughed when I said range rover....I was being serious
