Fascinating. Excuse my Latvian-ism, but I don't get it.

Did you see the mock up of the estate Optima? Looks amazing!

Duke O Smiley

Class looking cars imo.

GvidoR

The new Optima looks very good for a Kia.

No, you're grand. The worst was when Voodoomelon thought the Optima was a BMW. Nothing can beat that :pac:

I knew it wasn't, but in a lot of ways the styling is better than the current crop of BMW's.

Handsome brute alright, but the dash, particularly the instrument binnacle, looks cheap in a '90s sort of way.

Looks like a Saab 95 dash to me

Is that what they call it nowadays.

Went to FastFit in Togher for a price for two new rears, apparently they don't stock tyres that aren't run flats that big :pac:

Said he'll get back to me about a price on Hankook Ventus Evo at around €160 each for 255/40 including fitting/balancing etc. Apparently I have a Porsche fitment Rosso on it that shouldn't be on it :pac:

Seriously nice red Montoune ST out there too!

MuppetCheck

That focus looks and sounds fantastic.

Look at this yoke though, WANT!

Seen these vw scirocco alloys on a mk5 golf today and I thought they looked really well seemed to suit it I can't say I've ever seen them before I think they are 19s though.

challengemaster

I've seen those on almost every scirocco on the roads... absolutely love them too

That isn't a new thing, a lot of posers up here have done that.

Wait till you see alphards on a mk5, you'll cream yourself...

I absolutely despise those yokes, look horrendous on any VAG.

Infairness this golf was completly standard other than them wheels and in away that's why I liked it just kind of finished off the car nicely without it being flashy or over done looking.

Tbh I was never mad about sciroccos in general but the last few weeks I've seen a few and really like them. Someone said the headroom isn't great but I don't know how true that is.

Right. I may have screwed up. Sitting here in the IKEA car park in the missus e90 which refuses to start. While waiting for her I had the ignition on but no radio or lights running. I was charging my phone for about 20 minutes. Surely that wasn't enough to kill the battery?

She's mightily annoyed as you can imagine.


Edit: The electrics are working but the ignition isn't engaging.
