Is the company one that was previously raided before and shares its name with a top of the range ford without manual transmission?

Not sure, but I would imagine so. It's not gold, silver it's, ******** motor company.

Ah, I was thinking of another lightweight, less white goldy metal!

More like a type of credit card that usually gives cashback, no?

Dsg vrs Octavia diesel. Didn't expect it

Decent little bus...... handles well as you'd expect. didn't really cane it and had it in ECO mode as VRS mode was a tad tiresome I thought, no doubt a useful feature on a challenging road of course, indicated 48.7mpg over 566km. .......450kms of that was a long run with cruise set to 110, 130, 80 as per the limits.

Couldn't see myself being tempted to buy one tbh though.

I guess they're making an extra effort to catch people out this year.

Just a heads up for anyone around Donegal

my nct is up in July so ideally the rolling road day would be well before Sep lol

I used Tracey before a few time for rolling road days. But then stone remapped the current daily so I would prefer to give monastravin the business this time

I'm on a good few E36 groups on FB. They have been busy enough with videos of lads doing
rings etc for the last day or so.

Was driving through town the other night late enough and had the window down and some guy shouted at me basically but using not so nice words 'didn't I think I was great showing off driving my dads car' :pac: You'd swear it is an E class Merc I was driving.

Yep, was in Donegal earlier, you'd want to see the amount of Boras/Jettas/Toledos/Passats and all that general tat trundling along along with the RWD's bappin off the limiter as I drove back through Derry and Tyrone

Then there were the stickers on the back... They'll cringe looking back someday!

I used to get the same when driving the Mercedes C class, let alone the W126 I very rarely drive... It was great to annoy those peasants!

Turbo though :pac:

If you lift the bonnet you’d swear it had a big engine with all the trim and stuff under there it’s fairly packed out. Where as the Leon with the same engine looked tiny with loads of space around it as SEAT don’t spend too much on anything under there only the necessities bonnet didn’t even have struts.

Never in my whole life have I ever seen so many Toyota altezzas / lexus is200.

F,ucking **** box's suped to the brim.

Scrotes all over the shop

I'm actually annoyed over this

They were going up main Street revving the cars too the limiters so they would do the pop noise trick

I thought it was Halloween with all the firework like bangs going off
