tonyh29 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yes but residents of the IOM are notoriously tight, why else would they live there! The amazing weather and quality of service in restaurants. No, hang on a sec..... we just have an imaginary divide line to keep the Northerners out ..respect to you guys you have a whole stretch of water Its us keeping the inbreds away, think of the Irish Sea as the wall in Game of Thrones for referencing game of thrones ..come the cultural revolution you have surely provided more than enough evidence to be included in the first wave of summary executions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 im in a courtesy care at the moment, ford focus eco something or other, i cant imagine there being a gadget that this car doesnt have, cameras, DAB, heated seats, climate control, that parks itself malarkey (havent had the balls to try it yet) its ridiculously comfortable, and coming from my little abarth its pretty big but got absolutely no poke, the guy who dropped it off said it cost £27k... a £27k ford focus Mrs H has one of these ... bought an ex demo with 1000 miles on the clock for £12k ( not sure if it was the £27k model but it does have all those features you refer to .. keep meaning to try the auto park as well ) she loves it and it comes in at £20 road tax as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted May 16, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 16, 2014 Oh and having slagged off Audis, I'm considering the RS6 as the next replacement. Stay away, we don't want your sort moving over from BMW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 She's come from an X5 so will soon discover that surroundings will start to matter - like kerbs, or my car. We took that as an extra bay when we moved in, so that we wouldn't have to have the 'there's been a little incident in the carpark' conversation. The garage is looking pretty sweet now though, with the other two bits of German tin. The Balaban garage has our new arrival. Mrs. B's new conveyance I wish I could take credit, but this is self funded by the good lady. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 16, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 16, 2014 Those wheels. I was looking for them on my A3 but you can't get them. Wouldn't have gone for red myself, but shit that's a nice car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Those wheels. I was looking for them on my A3 but you can't get them. Wouldn't have gone for red myself, but shit that's a nice car. I was hoping she was going to go for the electric blue, but it's her car and she loved the red. Next time I remember, I'll note the size of the alloys / wheels if that helps?

Stevo985 Posted May 16, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Nah I meant when I was ordering mine I was looking for them to be fitted then. Think you can get them in certain markets but not in the UK. I also really like the gun metal rotor alloys. Really nice but again you can't get them fitted on an A3 (they're probably saving them for a black edition) Edited May 16, 2014 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted May 21, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2014 I've taken the Cadillac off the road as a daily driver and have now purchased a 2007 Saturn Aura (aka the North American version, pre-GM bankruptcy, of the Vectra) ((indeed, in Saturn's last few years as a marque, they essentially became North American versions of Opels/Vauxhalls, e.g. the Saturn Astra)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Has anyone taken their car to a rolling road? I'm thinking of taking mine to one to see how much power is left... is it worth going to one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
