Your kids are lucky to have you as their dad! I wouldn't trade my parents for anyone, but I also wouldn't have minded if they had owned some fancy machinery growing up😉
Ah man this is a lovely comment 🙌🥹
@@dadcars Been really enjoying the stuff you're putting out lately, I look forward to seeing what the future holds for your channel!
I sold my B5 S4 when my eldest came along and went into a boring diesel as I couldn’t risk big bills. Now they’re older and things have settled I’ve had a B8 RS4 and currently a C7 RS6. Realising only my daughter loves cars, the RS6 is up for sale and being replaced with a V8 R8. My son can stay home and play Minecraft while my daughter and I go to shows 😎
Awesome!! 🙌🥹
I agree, i was like this but last year i said enough i bought a Dodge charger 6,4L. A lovely family saloon.
If they weren’t so rare in the UK and therefore expensive I would absolutely LOVE a charger!
@@dadcars I was lucky there was one 2012 SuperBee in my country, first owner who bought it new in US, and after he moved back to EU took it with him. So glad its the 2012-2014, not saying the new shape looks bad, but the older one looks more aggressive.
You are a great father!!
Your kids are having great time while driving with you!
I’m happy for you!)))
Thanks man! 🙌🥰
Good on you, Ben. I had a Ferrari 612 as my daily drive. Perfectly fine, except my daughter hated the attention it got. That made it even better!😊
Fantastic!!! What a legendary DadCar! My kids only hate the attention a car gets if it means I’m talking to other car enthusiasts for any length of time over 30 seconds 😂
Our Mustang is the school run car. Absolutely fine 👍 Life's too short to be boring 🙂
This is where my head is at as well. I have a 1 and 6yr old and i desperately want a mustang. I have it optioned out just the way i want and everything. I even have financing figured out (on paper) just havent pulled the trigger because i also want some off road capability.
@@dqkneely9803 I've had ours a year now, wife daily drives it as I have a company car. 10 year old and a 7 year old here no issues regularly does the food shop in it as well.
My wife LOVES mustangs ever since we drove one across America just before we had our first child. She would love it if we got one but sadly they are out of my budget for a bit 🙈
@@dqkneely9803What about a WRX? Probably not quite close enough to the Mustang, but you do get a bit more off-road capability while still being sporty.
@@AmosDohms I have thought about that. Alot actually. But I really really just want a V8. If I can get a second car I will definitely look at the Subaru.
I’ve been saying this for years. My wife has the practical car. People think I’m nuts and immature with an LC500 as a daily driver that has a baby seat in the back 😂. I say it’s a horrible waste of resources to have multiple soul crushingly boring “practical” cars. Guess what, my LC500 because it’s fun is my daily… and when we go somewhere on the weekend my wife almost always wants me to take mine … I end up doing more mileage then her “practical car”.
My man 🫡👏
I absolutely love this channel and its content. I hope you and I can organize an event some day. Looking forward to more videos.
I’m at Petrolheadonism underground in Wembley next week then Shedfest a few weeks later. Dadcars family section is going to be epic!!!!!!
I don’t understand how’s possible that took me so long to find this channel! That’s totally me! I thought I was alone believing that family cars can be fun…
Being a dad it’s certainly tiring, but also fun and cars are part of the fun! Aren’t they?
🙌🙌🙌 I hope all dads like us find this channel 🥰
Love that the kids came up with Alfa Romeo all by themselves for the list, they shall grow up to be fine petrol heads one day!!
They LOVE Alfa Romeos after we had the bambini on press loan with all the fidget toys in it! 😅
I love your channel You've helped me convince my wife that I can transport the kiddo in a sports car. I'm so thankful you are doing the Lord's work.
Awesome!!! 🙌🥰
When my lad was a baby to about 10, here in the UK i had a Pontiac Fiero GT, Camaro Z28 IROC-Z, and a Alpine GTA V6 Turbo. Was the coolest dad doing the school run pickup !.
😳👌 cool Dadcarist alert!!! 🙌
100% agreed, im bored shitless of my Vitara
What could you get for the value of it?! 🤔
@@dadcars I've been eyeing up a Mégane 250/275 , got rid of my Clio 182 when I became a dad and deeply regret it
After being a casual watcher this video just made me become a subscriber buddy. You are very right with the idea being an adult is boring so limit yourself from something fun!
That’s why I went and became impractical with my most recent car and will continue to. Look forward to following this series and very interested in what your next purchase will be
Awesome thanks man 🙌😊
Dad of 4 here! My little ones are not so little anymore but I previously owned a 500bhp Audi S5 Sportback and now own a Mercedes C43 AMG. Both practical and extremely fun!
Amazing Dadcars!! Well done my man 💪
That's right! I have a black Celica-red for the last 3 years as my family car. No bodykits just lowered, spacers to match the arches and exhaust backbox. We came across the whole UK, mostly Scotland, thousands of miles with kids in the back. But this year I'm looking to buy my next family car a Jaaag XK 4.2. You, Number 27 and Jay Em had been a big inspiration for this decision. That is gonna be my first V8. I drove a Gallardo on a motorway some years ago but never a V8. Anyway, have a great and succesfull week. The communication between you and your daughters is absolutely fabulous. Such a beautiful family❤
Thanks man! I love a Celica 👌😮💨… Jag XK is one if the best value buys out there at the moment 🙌
@@dadcars Thank you! 😁👍
100% agree on everything. The Hot Hatch came into existence because of the desire to have a fast, fun but practical family car! And that Picanto GT is a perfect example of the modern small hot hatch. I've said it for years about nice/exciting cars in general; if you can afford to buy it (Whatever 'it' is) and run it, and you want it now, then do it, because 'tomorrow' might not happen and then you end up having never had that nice car. You might only own 'it' for a few months but you did it, you bought that car that you wanted; you ticked that life-box.
An ordinary car doesn't make things like a trip to a fun fair less of a memory, but a nice car becomes part of the memory; such as making 'popcorn' in the exhaust and helps make that bond even stronger.
You got it man 🙏🥰
Thanks for the video Ben. As a Dad of 2 girls and having a land rover you’ve hit the mark!
🥰😅
Love this! An example to every car loving parent everywhere... It's all about the memories!
🙌🥹
do.. do you think you might want to adopt a 27 year old man lol
you treat your kids so well!
You would be the only son I ever had 🥹🙌
Loving the nod to brenty at the beginning 👍👍
lol! Glad someone spotted that 😅 I remember watching the office as a child with my dad when it originally aired on BBC! So much of my humour is based on that foundation 😅
Misses has a Fiat 500 Abarth. Two children 15 and 13 and that’s the daily, fits us all in with room and can do a weeks food shop in the boot. I’ve got an e46 m3 and there’s even more room. When they were younger we had a 335d e91 and my Fiat Coupe. Never had a boring car never will
You have one of the most iconic Dadcars of our lifetime 👏
@@dadcars I think you should get one next mines a convertible which is more fun. Can get a good one between 15-20k
@@rthomasboxmy next car has to be sub £15k 🙈
@@dadcars you can prob get one but will need a bit of work and higher mileage. Could potentially make money on it, if it just needs tidying. Or for a bit of a twist Alpina. B3s. Not many on RUclips and great as a comparison car with an m3 or 330ci
Dad of two just bought a T350! Still got a family car though.
Recently bought an x5 as we had a baby, you’ve inspired me to sod it and buy an m5 lol still pretty practical
X5 is a great large family suv… but an M5 would do a lot of the same things day to day 😎
Well done Ben , i totally understand where you're coming from. I have been lucky to own some nice cars and everyone has been made even more special when ive been able to share them with my family. I have never bought a new car or nearly new car its always been older or higher mileage but for the same money you can buy something that excites you.
Depreciated has always been my way 🥹🙌
Ben, I’ve been loving watching your channel grow and I love your outlook on fatherhood and cars. I recently bought an Evora GT as my dad car and my son LOVES it. We’ve had some great family adventures in it already.
That’s incredible well done! The Evora is a dream car for me, I’ll have to get one when I eventually trade up again 🤞
It’s amazing seeing your girls grow up and making amazing memories! This is just one side of the joy of parenting! I love how you’re sharing it with us ❤ it just inspires more dads to do the same and to keep the car community alive 🙏
Wow thank you my man 🙏 and thank you for the kind words 🥹
I've always loved cars and I think one of the reasons for that was the first car i remember my Dad having...a 1988 VW Jetta GTi 16v. That thing was an absolute rocket to me as a 2 year old! It sparked a lifelong obsession with all things car. Now that I've got kids of my own, I love nothing more than going out for a drive with my son in my 325ti. It's nothing particularly special, but we both love it!
Saving up for my Aston though...either a Rapide or a V12Vantage.
Rapide!!! 🙌
Fair play, but thankful we stopped at 2! 😂
Sensible 😅
Brilliant video. As a Petrolhead and father of 3 young ones, I truly believe in what you have said. Ok, some small sacrifices might have to be made for an awesome car, but the upsides are huge. It’s all about those memories and thrill factor. I’m newish to your channel but keep up the good work. 👏🏼 inspiring and informative. Great stuff
Awesome thanks man 🙌
I recently put a week's shopping for a family of 4 (no carrier bags) into my jaguar xk convertible.
Funny looks were worth it
😂👏
I call that bumpy road the Sea Sick road. I drive my Lorry along it several times a day and i have an Air assisted seat which doesn't know what to do. 😂
lol 😂 yeah it’s worse in vans and SUVs!
Great video, and your right every car is that persons perspective, as I’d be happy in a 20 year old Subaru WRX wagon 👌
👏 I’d be happy in a 20 year old wrx wagon too! 😮💨👌
Loved this one mate - thanks so much for all the effort and info you put into your channel 👍
Thanks man! I appreciate it! This one took ages to edit 😅
@@dadcars I can tell! Lots of cross-shot pieces to camera to cut. I direct docs for a living and it’ll often take months for me and a whole team to make an hour of telly. How you guys make such engaging, dynamic content so quickly, on your own, always impresses me. Big respect!! 🏆
Best video yet!
Lots of good points but one thing I 100% agree on is that the old and battered £5k TVR I bought in my 20s is at least the equal in fun terms to the V8V I bought in my 40s for 8 times the price. The TVR’s proved more reliable too.
Buy the car you want, not the one you think will impress other people.
Thanks man I loved making this one ✊🥰 you only need to impress your 8yo self and 80yo self 🥹
I love DadCars! Great Cars & Coffee find game!
🙌🥰
My children love just doing things and going out in the car. They love my 1.6 TDCI 60 plate Fiesta. When giving it a clean they always want to help do thing like wiping down the interior hoovering the mats and little jobs like that . Most of all they enjoy sitting in the car when I am putting the snow foam on and rinsing off to wave through the windows.
Yeah they love being in the car when I clean it too! Jet wash is hilarious 😅
Literally laughed out loud at the intro! Another great video Ben!
😅👏
Using this video to persuade the mrs to let me make that old Maserati purchase, I got a picture taken with an old one (can’t remember which now) when I was 8 and loved them since.
From dad with a 2 year old in a focus
If you can comfortably afford to buy and run it… then go for it! It’s a great time to buy right now, values are down across the board
Yo I completely agree with this video.
I've got 3 kids. My dream car is a 911 porsche.
I have been fortunate enough to have own a 944 with my children still being comfortable.
Don't get me wrong I still have the cayenne for full family days.
Hopefully I can trade my way up to a 911 one day.
Awesome!! Well done man 👏
Another Great video Ben 😊👍🏻
Nearly 20yrs ago I bought a FIAT Coupé 20vTurbo Limited Edition as my ‘Dad Car’. 4 full sized seats, air bag off switch and a boot big enough for a buggy! Gotta love that 5 cylinder warble and the cool lines of the later FIAT Coupé 😎
Many happy memories were made and one of my favourite pictures is of me and my Son in the Coupé going to Brooklands for an Italian Car show 😁
I have always loved the look of those! I can’t wait to drive one 🙌
@@dadcars , you won’t be disappointed! 😁
Fun fact: my old Coupé has just been exported to the USA under the ‘25yr rule’ and is the first Limited Edition version of the FIAT Coupé over in the states. I got it up to near concourse condition during my 10yrs of memory filled ownership - how cool is that. The car will live on and be cherished on the other side of the world & away from the salt and the wet! 😎
Your best video. I've thoroughly enjoyed it, very informative and honest. Love your reflection and insights at the end. I am a dad myself and have an F-Type V8s. which I am considering selling so that my we can make family memories , my wife, son and I. Or I keep it and enjoy it with my son but the issue is that I cannot disable the airbag . Tough decisions and so scared to make a costly mistake (or have regrets!) Food for thoughts, but thanks again for your video :)
Thanks man! Well you’ve found the right channel to help you along the way with all these types of decisions 😅
Finally got a car seat for my S1 Elise and took my 3yr old out in it for the first time last week. It's made ownership far more fun knowing that we can now go out together and even a 10min drive to Granny's is an event!
It really is right! 🙏🥰 that’s awesome, sadly my S2 had a passenger airbag and so I couldn’t do it when I first became a dad 🥲
We’ve also got an X5 but the school run is a hot hatch and also just bought an old 996 Porsche. Because they are all practical!
Sounds like a lovely family fleet you have there!! 🙌 I love a 996 😍
I needed this video! Thank you
🙌🥰
We've only got 2 kids, but we've always resisted getting a standard family truck/estate/SUV. Driven all over UK & Europe in my M3's and all went on a tour through France and 2 weeks on French Camp (caravan!) site in my wife's Astra convertible with an 11 year and 1 year old! Just need to plan & pack carefully, & hire bikes etc when you get there. Great video.
Your end note - Yeah, I have a 2011 Mazda6 2.2 diesel, most used car places will take it off my hands for under a grand. It's still SUPER fun, and really good on utility and things. I can go to IKEA in it, fit a ton of shopping in it, if I had kids they'd all fit in no problem. I'm looking to upgrade soon but it might be a great option for you as part of this series.
Fine example! It’ll be 18 months before I’m at £1k though 😊
Another brilliant video and the fact that your wonderful children know what a Maserati is…fantastical. Why be normal….normalcy is boring…nicely done.
You got to have a thing or two in your life which defies logic but brings you joy 🙌
Completely agree - my other is a Bentley Turbo R - oh the smile on my face. Do you have an email I could share pictures of my GranSport with you?
Great content love what you're doing! As a dad of 1 and very into cars I find what you're doing amazing! I daily drive a mk 1 octavia vrs estate because I wanted a do all car and I love that you're not sticking with convention! Agree with what you said about child seats, I'm a mechanic myself and car seats are definitely a grey area that I personally wouldn't touch for fear of making a mistake with fitment etc and that seems to be industry wide too. There should be a better understanding of it, even as a dad I could definitely get a better understanding of child seat safety. Love what you're doing with the channel (spotted you yesterday in Farlington and got a little excited 😂)
Awesome! I should probably review a VRS at some point…
@@dadcars I'd definitely be willing to let you borrow mine for a review should you ever want too, I'd be very interested to see your take on it
@@pompeyjustin97I’d be brutally honest! But drop me a DM on insta if you’d like to see it filmed 🤙
Oh, the rare Sunday I don't go there and it's the one you go to!
lol! After dadcaring all week often by Sunday we just do something none car related these days 😅
Always love your vids and reasoning. I do get more of a connection now that I'm on the brink on becoming a dad myself (1 is enough for us though :P).
Fortunately we have the ability to do both: Practical '17 Suzuki Baleno as family car and an '00 Twingo as a simple runabout.
And for the excitement a '94 Calibra 3.0 V6 to serve as a GT and an '05 Viper for me :P
I was looking for your childseat seatprotector, but the amazon link broke on older vids. Could you relink this?
Awesome congrats man! I’ll look into the link and get that sorted tomorrow :)
Best video yet, keep improving🎉
Thanks man! 🙌😊
Another awesome video, top channel, top dad! 😁
Thanks man 🙌😊
Agree with everything - its why i bought my Alfa Giulia QV and my young kids love it!
😮💨👌
Absolutely agree!
The fact that this guy and his way of thinking is not exponentially more popular just says a lot about the lack of reason and ability to make rational decisions instead of doing the lazy thing and relying on intuition in people today.
I work in IT and the amount of people pedaling and regurgitating same nonsensical bull about the necessity of owning Qashqais, X1s, Tiguans, YarisXs and similar ridiculous "urban SUVs" they heard in sponsored reviews of "renowned" car shows without even trying to implement even a second of their own independent thought about it is frightening.
At the same time, those same people stare at me in shock when I say that my family car is A5 sportback (one kid and one on the way) and that I have 0 intention or need for replacing it any time soon. I know it's not a Maserati, but it is 100X more fun to drive (or even just sit in) than those wobbly, high sitting, 0 emotion inducing killers of "car enthusiast" car market.
To you my British lookalike (bald guy with ginger beard here too), hats off and a all the best from Serbia. So awesome to see that there are still people with brains and reason left in this world!
Yeah it’s strange that my position is so against the status quo… 🤷♂️ in many ways it’s more logical
@@dadcars well the issue is that your position requires ability to think with your own head and implement objectivity and rationality. And that unfortunately is in short supply in today's world. People much rather outsource thinking to others (in this case car industry marketing) and those others are more than happy to take over.
Anyways, thank you once again for doing what you do.
I’ve only got two kids. Yet my wife has an X1 and I’ve two cars of my own. A Cayman S (987.1) and a F06 640d Gran Coupe (the sensible dad car with some styling). I unfortunately do big miles at the moment (2500-3000 a month) so diesel is a requirement. But when that changes, I’m selling both of mine for a 911. Not sure if it will be a proper analog 996 or a 997 C2S. Although a Daderatti would be nice too ……
Awesome!! 🙌 yeah I need to own a 911 at some point 😎
Great video Ben but it does make me a bit sad. Having owned 530d touring’s (my own Dadcar) for the last ten years (I’ve got 3 daughters), finances meant I had to get rid of the latest one at the end of last year and get an iX3 as a company car. Other than it being about 45% cheaper to fuel it’s a worse car in every other way compared to a fast estate. I can only reiterate to others that there is no SUV/cross over that is better than your own version of a cool Dadcar.👍
A 530d is an incredible dadcar! Celebrate the memories you made over the 10 years! And the when it makes sense again get yourself something that makes you smile 🙏🥰
I have fond memories of day trips the the seaside in the family car as a kid even if they where just a cortina or a datsun 120y. But they would have been even better if it was a special car. Even being picked up at school would have been a memorable event. Hopfully will see you at a car event this summer with my gransport
Amazing I’d love to see it! I LOVE these cars 🥹
Think this is your best yet. Interesting and adorable
Thanks man! These are my favourite videos to make!! Just need the algorithm to figure out my content should be recommended to people who watch car content and kids RUclips 😂
@@dadcars That's also an interesting chicken and egg problem isn't it - what you do is a blend of two types of content in a way (or at least two types) - guess you need the almighty algorithms to catch up with you?! You have problably had these ideas and many more, but what about reaching out to both the car channels and dad/parenting channels for collabs to bring new folks in to you?
Im in a similar situation, wife, 2 kids and a dog.
We have the family suv (bmw x3 remapped to about 300bhp 😍)
I currently drive an old a4 but desperately want something with a big old v8 in it but it needs the rear seat practically.
Got a few options within the price i want to pay. Luckily we are past the car seat stage now but its great that you are showing it can be done
Oh it absolutely can be done my man! 🙌😮💨
I’m convinced….now just need to convince the wife 😂
I made a video “how to convince the mrs” 😅
Brilliant content 👌 👏 😊👍

Thanks!
My man thanks Frank!!! 🙌🥰

Haha this was awesome! Maybe I will pick up an MR2 for now ❤
I’ll have an MR2 again as soon as I have the space and money 🥹 a Dadcars fleet is the dream!

Ive a got a 2005 mx5 lowered coil overs custom exhaust my daughter loves it . She says i love daddys little car . She loves sound and having the roof off . Ive Also Infiniti q30 as well . But my partner coming around to idea having a cool a car she just traded her juke for a mini cooper seven special edition .
Fantastic!!! That sounds like an awesome family setup!

Legend! Saving all these videos for my future marriage!
Hi Ben, is you car registered as a four seater? Just wondering if you had to declare the 3 seater child seat in the rear to you insurance and where you stood? Are you covered in an accident if it's registered as four seat but you have 5 people in it?
Keep up the vids.
Great question, insurance companies are fully aware of the multimac, when I told mine about the Gransport now having a 3 across in the back they were absolutely fine and simply suggested I keep hold of my invoice in the event of a claim I.e. in the event the car was stolen.
Exciting cars existing at any budget is so true.
Some of the most fun I’ve had has been in the lowest powered/most affordable cars I’ve owned.
How much of 500bhp can you regularly use on public roads?
The exciting car you can comfortably afford will be a far more enjoyable ownership experience than one you are stretched and stressed about 🙏
Love my blue 4200. Quality ❤❤❤
🙌🥰 amazing cars these days
Those child seats are awesome. Imagine being strapped to the chassis on a spirited drive they'd feel everything the cars doing who better than a kid, to be honest, when you're getting a bit out of hand 😂😂
lol I don’t do proper spirited driving with them in the car but that’s what’s nice about these masers! It’s an event at 20mph! 😂
What lovely kids. Great video.
I just wish more people would think like this and maybe we would see less Toyota Rav 4s and more used Maseratis on the road.

@@dadcars Your welcome Ben. You'll get the views.
“Alright baldy” 😂😂😂 great video
🤣🤷♂️
Hi CarDad, I own the 4 seat Multimac in my Peugeot 308 2008 model. May I ask how come you put your oldest Girl in the middle Multimac seat? Does it affect your vision seeing the back much? As I put my 2 taller ones on the outside, it maybe so I can see out the back using my mirror. Thank you 😊
Just because in the back of the maser the roofline slopes down a little so the middle ones has the most headroom
@dadcars Ah, that does make a lot of sense, I love my Multimac, only downside is the weight to get the bugger out if I need to do a tip run lol
Our girl is already enough for us (school fee, music lessons, swimming lessons, etc). I can’t imagine how people can cope with more than 2😂. My ex boss have 3 children, but he was finance director in a blue chip company.
🤣Excellent!
👏😂
How do you manage to get them all in and buckled 😯? I'd give up and get a van after one struggle
The eldest 3 can get into the back themselves easily, only one of them needs help buckling and the front one is easy 🤷♂️ if we want to be practical we take my wife’s car but it’s a lot more fun in mine :)
If someone who calls a Maserati rubbish obviously don’t know anything about cars! But then most people have no idea and just think because it’s an suv it’s safe.
Honestly you can’t win! You get criticism from both sides all the time! So I just do what makes me happy and appreciate those who enjoy it too!
I'm looking for something semi interesting and second hand car prices are just silly.
Unfortunately the reality is this....within no time your kids wont fit in anything remotely sporty. My wife had BMW X1...she did most trips...but my 2 even moaned about the space in the back of a CL500 merc!.
Love the bear hunt ref
That just happened after I said “what a beautiful day” and little one said “we’re not scared” lol 😂
I suddenly have a feeling to sell the family car and "upgrade" haha
But ive got kids and a greyhound. Fast estate and SUV style, I'm not sure 😂
Loads of cool estates out there 👌😮💨
It’s that new Dadcar Merch?
Oh yes baby!!!!!!
Fair play but i want to be able to fit all of my kids stuff for the day in my car can't do that with a small boot with one kid let alone 4 where would the push chair go with all that shopping
Baby carrier! 🤷♂️😅… most fast saloons have boots twice the size of my car
Quite subjective, isn't it? I've got 5 kids, albeit 3 of them are between 12 and 21, but two of them under 2. If we go for a big day out (which is what I prefer to do) then we need a fair bit of space, like a double buggy, bags and what not but I value that comfort and practically over performance that isn't really that useable on the road anyway.
So in a way, I'm enthusiastic about the practical uses of a car and what it can do for me and the family, hence why I drive a C4 grand spacetourer. Massive, comfortable, but not amazing to drive.
Lets not villify the word "sensible" or "practical".
😊
🤙😎
What happens when the wife wants to come along with the rest of the family
We take my wife’s car… but if like most sane people you only had two or even three kids then you could take either car 🤷♂️
I bet if you asked a load of women what's the perfect mumcar they'd all say single seater... 😁
What if you've got kids and no money 😂😂😂😂
If you’ve can’t afford to run any car then yeah I’m with you man… but when you can, there are exciting cars at any budget 🙏🥹
Great stuff Ben. But there is no way even you can find an exciting car for £1000.
Challenge accepted 💪
@@dadcarsyea pleaseeee
@@dadcars Legend
I get it, but where is the wife? 😂
She’s having a much deserved rest David! 😅… I had the Aston when I had 3 kids and now the maser with 4… but yes I’d like the next one to be able to take all 6 of us 😉… but if your wife drives a bigger car, why do you need two big cars??
@@dadcars I agree. You just need the approval of the finance committee (Wifey).
Call me boring but I like a car to be practical that's why I love estates and I like my car to fit adults in the back when taking friends out. My wife doesn't drive so I have to make the compromise
Then you need an Aston Martin Rapide or a Ferrari FF/GTC Lusso!!
I love fast estates!! I’ll get one at some point :)
@@user-vi8pt5us3b maybe 1 day haha
@@dadcars just a matter of time, mate!
Just missing the wife in the car. Thats a big problem for my misses.
That would be nice if they made a 6 seater car that was sporty.
2019 BMW X7 xDrive40i I found 1 that would work.
2023 Audi Q7 That would fit the bill also.
If you only have one car between you then yes… a saloon or estate would make a lot more sense :)
Where does your wife sit?
We both drive so it’s typically only one day a week all 6 of us are in one car together… then we take her car 🤷♂️
Glad to watch this expecting my first child in October and got 2 mg zs 180s and missus keeps telling me I need more practical 🤷♂️😂 but I’m not selling them so may just add to the collection something else
It’s amazing seeing your girls grow up and making amazing memories! This is just one side of the joy of parenting! I love how your sharing it with us ❤ it just inspires more dads to do the same and to keep the car community alive 🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏 did you do this twice?!
