    I hate Top gear, those three old men should be sacked in exchange for a younger persons point of view. Hammand is so bloody scripted, it's like everything he says he planned to say it 6 months ago. Clarkson is one of those people who I'd love to knock out. The other fella is abit strange and his personality does not really fit the show. I want the old Top gear from the 90's back.

    Why does 'Dave' and 'Setanta' always show episodes from 2004'?

    BMW e46's are oil leaking, coolant dripping, bottom ball joint knocking piles of premium sh!te!

    The old Skoda jokes from years ago are still fresh in my mind and I secretly laugh everytime I see an Octavia.

    I love LASAGNE.

    My neughbours daughter is a foookn roide!

    I wouldn't hate on Top Gear but I completely agree on the scripted thing, he says everything in that same annoying voice all the time... James May I think tries to be more clever than he is and Clarkson well I used to laugh at him but now it's just painful listening to him.

    I laugh everytime I see somebody driving a big '07/'08 Range Rover petrol yoke just thinking of how worthless that car is or how a BMW 645ci is also worth sweet fcuk all too.

    :D

    Great if you wanna look like a drug dealer though. One with no taste.

    Any pics of that Buer next door to you Mondeo? Perhaps sitting a car to keep it relevant? :D

    Oh where are my manners...

    Hi, I'm Mal :)

    I drive a rattly, squeaky blue van which is disappearing for the winter... :eek:

    Every car I've insured under my own name, I've had to put together :rolleyes:

    I have an unhealthy obsession with collecting cars, cut down this year to just 7 under my name

    In my spare time I only work on my current collection, somehow...

    I don't really do anything else, except college schtuff

    I have a sweet tooth and as a result have lost a tooth, have 12 fillings and 2 root canals. Costly...

    I hate most modern music...

    I learned to drive at 12 and got my first car at 15 :)

    Er I think that's a decent insight into my tunnel vision lifestyle :D

    Been in a few of them and was so disappointed, hated the exterior but I found the interior to be quite small for a car that was so big. It was on 20 inch wheels too and the ride was crap. Oh and it cost over €100k!

    Disgusting thing. Volvo XC90 is so much better.

    Im projectgtr ive two civics one is daily driven and sees the track as much as possible each year, the other is a project waiting on me to finish my Pajero Project before it can be moved into my man cave.

    Looking at something fun to replace the other civic when its done, either something jap in the kei class (660cc turbo :D) or fun RWD like an MX-5

    Ive met a few regulars, think i met a mod? Lightening??but i have to say i was worse for wear that night and probably waffled the ear off you that night :D

    So anyway.

    I got up early on Saturday morning and left Fundalk and headed to Donegal (Bundoran)

    I was quite impressed with what I got out of the car. Went up through Monaghan and into Enniskillen and down to Bundoran in about 2 hours which is awesome. I hadn't brimmed the car but had her on 3 quarters full and when I pulled into the drive at home that night I was bang on half a tank with 281 Miles on the clock round trip.

    Now 60 Litre tank / 4 = 15. What would my MPG have been ?

    By the way, This was with two Kayaks in the boot, two people and some kayaking gear. I'm quite impressed with Betty.

    ps - This is what we did with our Kayaks when we got there. This is me coming down Duff falls :D

    Well I get to see one every day ;) however the last one I saw was a 1.9TD last year. They got very dated looking very quick when replaced by the Marea

    Ah yes, way ahead of their time :) And the electrics in some cases :( The digtal dashes were called.... dgt :D

    15L = 3.299 imp gallons which means 81mpg. What were you driving? My mpg is high teens/low 20s (I wish).

    Mugsmugs, I'd treat a fuel guage with a pinch of salt. I throw 20 quid into my car it says I've half a tank. It costs 70 quid to brim it. That's pretty inaccurate!

    Yeah, I'd agree.

    81MPG would be a bit too good.

    2.0 D-4D Avensis.

    I'll brim her next time. :)

    My first quarter is usually about a third of a tank.

    Sure. But only 2 that are sort of reliable and one that might be fun to drive .. ah well, ok, the Tempra is also fun to drive, when it doesn't brake down or falls apart.

    5-series: E34, E39, E60 ?

    Oh ... I'm Martin, but that doesn't matter, as most people call me also Marlow in real life. And I'm addicted to fuel-fumes and engine noise. :p
