    Remember now that I am almost old enough to be a granny and couldn't cope with the power of an astra, my poor bones, and gimpy joints would be shaken :D

    I'll be there with my walking stick :D

    Just collected my new 530d. Delighted, much nicer than my old e90 320d. Passengers agreed that's its a much nicer smoother drive.

    Another poster in my Alfa gt or 530d thread commented that it was a curious choice in a manual...? What do ye think in here?

    Have you ever heard the phrase "if you cant lift it, dont shift it" :pac:

    On a motoring note, I passed out so many felters between mountmellick and birr today I thought it was a video game.

    And to the absolute prick in the Q7 on the straffan rd who slammed on the brakes just as I was accelerating to overtake, I hope next time its a fcukin JCB behind you!

    I can't understand all the felters about myself, was near Richhill earlier, all exclusively Boras and Toledos :cool: down here there's every 3rd car was a felt wagon! :confused: myself included :pac:

    On a sad note, the cheese all melted out of my burger and is now at the bottom of the bag :(
