Audi SQ7 £72,895/£94,920

- JACK RIX

Cocklebarr­ow races. Lots of Land Rovers, acres of tweed, much mud and one SQ7 trying desperatel­y to ft in but failing miserably with its 22-inch rims. The equivalent of wearing stilettos to a damp Glastonbur­y. To be fair to the Q7, with air suspension jacked up in of-road mode and more wheelspin than was strictly necessary, it did manage to skate across the car park and come to rest neatly next to our friend’s Discovery, complete with gun rack turned picnic hamper. Once stationary, the country set were intrigued by its petrol-like burble and high-fashion interior, although the wheels were the subject of much ridicule. “You’d be laughed of a shoot with those,” I was told. “You’d be laughed out of town with a hat like that,” I replied. In my mind.
