    Well I didn't expect that, thank you! haha

    Easy now, lets not start a love in.

    Carry on, it's just so predictable and means reading a thread around a fickle bit of name calling and 'your mum' jokes.

    Signing out again now, don't make me come back and spank you (although I'm not sure that would have the desired affect...)

    Yeah, I get the Internet lulz factor and you do post some funny, informative and well thought out posts/stories/accounts/duplicated photos etc. Whilst I generally find you amusing, it has been constant baiting recently and usually this is one way. Everyone will have an standpoint on this and I'm not going to push this any further, it just irritated me enough to sign in and comment.

    So then, as you were TF.

    Those 20 different guys in Aus have though x

    Rare sign into TF today, I'm usually the creepy quiet observation type of member and I'm usually on the side of the person having a pop at jardo for being himself, but having had a lazy day catching up on some threads as my bike is broken, Dann570twelve you have recently become a total wanger! Nothing further.

    My renewal came through recently, 240 odd quid fully comp, mk1 focus 1.8 tdci lx, 9 years ncb, clean license. However paying it over installments puts it up to 350 :(

    Totally off topic but I've Pm'd you Forteh, not sure how often you check them so thought I would try this as well!

    Starts at 1:41.

    That's pretty frantic. Please forgive my ignorance but why are some of the shifts up and down clutched and others not? Also aren't the pedals normally adjusted in racing cars? ie your brake and throttle are central? Or is that just an angle which looks odd?

    How's a 405(?) to drive? The big Pug diesel estate, can't remember the model number. Or one of the legacy or outback estates? I know the diesel boxer is crap though.

    Focus estates seem to tick all the boxes but is it big enough? I would have one but wanted to change from the blue oval, plus I've never had an ounce of enthusiasm for one.

    21 in town, ~16 pushed and 34 on the motorway.

    Epic spewbaru (non-turbo) engine configuration.

    Dan, better off doing say 20litres from full, as fuel price varies and I've no idea where I could manage to run to empty safely/accurately.

    My 2002 1.6 focus bought at 115k after a hard life with very little history or love during its life has been faultless. apart from a little servicing and tyres its never wanted for anything and I've put 40k on its since owning it.

    Cleaner, lower mileage ones can be had easily in budget. big enough for 3 bikes and people with a little planning.

    It will get bigger with all the products going on it.

    Raining today, 4wheel drive and absolutely awful tyres has been fun.

    Think I might have to put some decent boots on it for winter, I remember you guys have a collective preference for tyres but cannot find it! Any pointers? 195/60 R15's
