    Couple of days ago there was a thread on commercial tax where he tripped himself up, then got tied up in knots and lost the rag

    UN car related but I've been feeling ****e the past six weeks with what felt like a combination of a chest infection and sinusitis

    Finally cop today it might be hay fever, go to chemists, who nod sagely, giggle and give me nose spray and antihistamines

    **** you hayfever

    Just worked out the mpg on my first full tank on the Honda, 400 miles doing 60/40 urban/motorway, got 34.5 from it, fairly pleased with that.

    I'm averaging around 21MPG at the moment but can return 40 or so on the Motorway. Auto's are class!

    Yeah I'm not sure I'd go back to manual, the OHs 15 year old Merc regularly hits 44mph on motorway runs

    It's the sheer comfort of driving an auto (I've a damaged left knee) that makes a huge different to me, especially in city traffic.
