    Mydudes, the family wagon question is a no brainer: volvo v70 all the way. Especially with 4 kids, you can get it as a 7 seater, bulletproof, easy to work on (if you get one before the ford saga), and plenty to choose from with that price range. Only thing is mileage, but if you get one that is well looked after, the mileage doesn't matter.

    Just an idea lads. And I may be missing something here, having never been involved in broadcasting in any way……But are there not small clip on microphones? With perfect sound quality? That I imagine are fairly cheap to buy? That would mean you wouldn’t all have to hold what look pretty huge and I imagine fairly weighty massive microphones in front of your faces? It just seems like hard work for no reason. Please give me a reason to put my mind to rest. Other than that. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
