Be worth a fortune today, too

Nah, orange! I wondered what the proper term was

Where does he say he doesn't? You're being deliberately obtuse. Let me state this again, just for absolute clarity: NO-ONE WHO WANTS A CORVETTE IS GOING TO GIVE A SIDEWAYS GLANCE AT A BLOODY VAUXHALL.

And still look much uglier, and still have two more seats, and not be able to take the roof off...

Bloke down my road has three of them, two black and one orange. Proper puffy things though, not trimmed like the one in that video, but immaculately groomed. Really friendly little things too

"So, I've got £30K in the bank for a V8 muscle car*, and man do I really fancy a Corvette! But wait, I could have a Monaro for £15K less, that's totally what I'm going to buy!" Said no-one, ever. *Corvette isn't a muscle car, but I let it slip this once.

Huzzah! I'll let the boss know, thanks mate!

I'm leaving work in 50mins, so we'll have to agree I'm right before then

Avensis and the MR2 have the same engine, so they're the same as well. Might as well get the Avensis seeing as how they both go the same.

Ah, Addison Lee, no taste

Drive both a Monaro and a C6 'Vette, then tell me if you think they're remotely comparable. Hint: They're not. Dave put it very well.

And? What has straight line speed got to do with it?

Pearoast

Please tell me you don't actually believe that. ONE HAS FOUR SEATS AND IS A WAFTING BARGE. ONE IS A TWO SEAT SPORTS CAR. It's like comparing an M3 and a 360.

Are you really suggesting that someone who is interested in a Corvette should get a Monaro instead? That's a bit like someone coming on here and saying they can afford MPSS and what do people think of them, and someone recommending Falkens when the person didn't remotely ask about them in the first place, and their budget happily covers the premium option :p But really, no-one looking at 'Vettes is going to settle for a Monaro. Completely different cars.

And it doesn't weigh as much as a small house. It's a bit like saying you might as well buy a Murano instead of a 350Z because you get four seats.

HaydnH's car sounded lovely Think I was out in the RX-8 at the same time as Haydn at one point, made for a good comparison.

Either my Focus 1.8 TDdi, or the VXR220. Focus because it was the first car I bought myself, and did everything so very well. VXR220 as it was the first car that made me really understand vehicle dynamics. It also went like sh*t off a shovel.

U no wear i am

I'd love a could beer right now.

*facepalm*

As I said, just do it online. Easy.

I thought it was just a typo

Call them. Sometimes it takes 5 mins, sometimes 5 hours, sometimes 5 days. Can you not tax it online?

I don't think an air rifle is really comparable to a proper firearm. We don't know the back story here enough, really. If that was the first gun she's ever held, then that's utter stupidity. If she's grown up with guns and has happily fired most pistols then this may just have been the next step (giant leap?).
