    They are, I think they're one of if not BMW's best at the moment, in my opinion of course.

    I dunno if its a 'best of a bad bunch' type thing, but they are class, the boss has an f10 5 series parked outside my window as i type this, and tbh, my xantia has more character..




    There's also a Jag XF v6 diesel here too, now, thats a serious motor :cool:

    I'm a big fan of the F10 M-Sport but I hate the regular SE one.

    Saw some nice cars today, a vintage Mustang (have a pic of it), two 12 BMW 640D's and what I think was a 3.2 Brera as it had quad exhausts unless that was standard on all Brera's.

    All Brera's have quad exhausts. Was it red by any chance?

    Edit: Should point out that they are actually twin exhausts with quad tailpipes...;)

    The awkward moment when a subframe falls over and knocks one to the ground, making it a right arse to move...... It was too hot to work anyway, time for some afternoon drinks :)

    Happy to hear, that CV worked wonders! You should get plenty of hours though and once you have a few months experience might move on to something else! One things for sure you'll have plenty of work all year round...:)

    Lovely stuff, most likely a 2.2 unless it was the loudish daysul. Very few 3.2's sold here - Crap engine, crap economy, crap tax!

    Nah didn't bother, my body somewhat recovered and I carried on! Found out the local Supervalu (not in Johnostown/J-Town) has 1 litre of Smirnoff for €20 quid, nice and cool by from being in the fridge. Bliss :cool:

    Headed off to Montpellier this morning at 6am. Have eventually arrived here and just chillin' in a local cafe in the sun. Checked my exam results there too from college and all went very well, all passed with honours. On course for my 2:1 now.

    Delighted, now to go for a few beers...:D


    *Motoring related - parked the 156 for a week in the long term car park for €30. :pac:

    Aviva insurance has some thickest customer support ever...

    Misses needs to change address due to moving. She got her tax disc and called them. They refused to do anything by using account number and said that name and surname is "account number"
    So she is not great at spelling. After few fails she said that she will give it to a co-worker ( Irish) to spell it for her. The lass on the other end of the phone completely refused that, she said my misses has to do it her self. She got completely thick! Even when misses gave phone to a friend ( coworker) just to explain it and she refused to talk to him and demanded to out her back to my misses...

    So half an hour and nothing done. In fact could not even find account...

    Have you tried changing it through the website?

    She is not used to it. She never properly learned English in school. She learned English in Ireland. She can speak good, but she can't spell at all. The way you say individual letter is different from Lithuanian.
