Oh and

Boring I have a garage full of impulse buys and projects, live life for today :no1:

You shouldn't jest, they probably will. Wonder what they're favourite tv programme is? Anything with Bear Grylls in I expect

Iv'e got a navman panoramic 7" taken apart and fitted behind a 2003 jap satnav cubby, looks oem

Lovely colour but the wheels make it look cheap

Imagine the London riots but with guns

Very realistic Stew, especially the look on Wor Lasses face.... pure satisfaction

Just opened a letter from the hospital and it looks like they mixed me up with Papa Smurf

Looks like a great place Jim, looking at the front room you have all the equipment to take up busking until you find permanent employment The 'potting shed' looks like it could easily be converted into a guest apartment, see you in the spring I like that the garden comes right up to the rear windows, the bears will be able to watch the telly with you

Didn't notice till yesterday it was an Insignia SRI not that it made me love it anymore.... I didn't intend this thread to be a 'look at me I can get (insert figure) mpg' thread as there are plenty of those My point is I drive whatever car I am in the same way pretty much, I have driven from London to Newcastle in 4 different cars each journey in roughly 4.5 hours with 1 or 2 short stops.... Mazda 6 2.3l - 33mpg Seat Leon TDI FR - 52mpg Insingia SRI - 34.5 mpg Zed - 33 mpg So on a nice long trip doing motorway speeds with the V6 purring it is not that uneconomical Driving it like you stole it or around town in traffic is another matter altogether

Not looking to sell, but I can certainly take some pics if you like As I say not sure what make or manufacturer they are, I bought a job lot of stuff a couple of years back, all interior, I think the sills were £50 the pair....

GLWTS Some other interesting cars keeping it company

And I want then BACK

The thing with Anerica is only 20-30% are living the 'dream' and 10% are in prison. I agree about Bowling for Columbine and spoke to Doogyrev about guns the other day, the thin with Canada is a gun is for protection i.e. bears what do most Americans needs protecting against, apart from themselves and their neighbours

Wrong thread as all the exotic dancers are male

I'm a real man who can pretend I do real manly things but I can't count up to 40 32, 33, 34, 35, 26, 27.....

+1. I have to agree +1 If I post up a picture of myself laying naked in bed can someone please photoshop Cheryl Cole on top of me as I have often wondered what it would look like....

Close but no cigar

I had an Insingnia soot chucker as a hire car on a trip to Cornwall and got nearly 70mpg so the Petrol v Diesel argument is slightly moot.... I think the new 'eco' petrol engines (1.6, 1.8, 2.0 etc) are more economical around town etc these days but when you get up to motorway speeds (70-80mph) they struggle. The Insignia I have now has 6 gears and tells to to change up as soon as you go near the pedal.... The engine sounds awful, no turbo but it feels like the accelerator and the engine are in different time zones.... All that and only a couple of mpg more than my Zed

Its down to driving style, on the motorway i am not on and off the pedal constantly like some.... One pet hate is drivers that are constantly on the brakes as they are too close to the car in front And no I don't drive like a grandad, not too much passes me

Nope pretty much 80mph all the way and no problem, if we hadn't stopped twice for the missus to have a fag it would have been a bit more

Yes but like a grave digger once I have filled a hole I leave it alone just spat my tea out Did that bring back memories of wiping coffee off the laptop

Just drove a hired Petrol Vauxhaul Insingnia from London to Newcastle in 4.5hrs so normal motorway speeds and it achieved.... 34.5mpg I have done the same journey in my Zed and got 33mpg A while back I had a Hyundai i30 petrol hire car and that did barely 35mpg as well.... Good job they have "change gear" lights to help achieve their fantastic performance figures...

Mine have the exact same clips as the OEM ones and fit perfectly Few spiderwebs on them now but they are getting a bit long in the tooth to be fair....
