I want a big, comfortable, automatic barge. One that will waft me around in comfort in my twilight years. Possibly old Beemer 7, merc S class or big jag.

Is it wrong that I've wanted a big, wafting slush-box barge since I was 10 - and own that car now?  :) And will never sell it?  :D

Had to laugh today...swmbo (totally unaware of the STMO colour thing) seeing a snot green Astra as we went to Aylesbury, chirps up...."Do these people who buy cars that look like snotty green, get a discount to buy it"
Tickled me, that did ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm genuinely poor. Why don't people believe me?

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.

The average Vauxhall punter wouldn't understand Phlegmy hence the dumbed down version 'Flemmy'!  :y

Here's a good idea. Everyone who is online now and drives an omega, put your car into a well-known car buying site and see how much you can get.
I'll put my phlegmy Astra in and we'll see if it's worth more than all your omegas put together. ;D

A paltry £235 for mine the last time I checked. No point is selling it for such a pittance.

I think STMO is being very smart, when he overtakes an unmarked police car at speed (well flat out for a 1.4 at 42mph downhill with the wind behind him), the police will ignore the infraction in a 30mph limit, saying he has suffered enough, just being seen in a metallic snotbox. :D :D :D :D
