Ain't no replacement for displacement ..

.. suitably augmented by some forced induction

Precisely 

You won't see a 1.0 turbo Mondeo doing 270 mph unless you drop it nose first from a plane

Any one been incumbered with one that they wish to donate?

....and even then it will only reach about 120 MPH.

Ah yes, Aaron. Those 'good ol boys' from the mountains of Kentucky (those that are married to their sisters) just  'lurve' a big cubic inch motor.

I think yours is the ideal colour for an omega, Lizzie, but it's all down to personal taste.

It matches her 'lippy' on a Saturday night.

A tad quicker than an Omega .....

Almost twice as quick in fact.

But does the Venom have the sheer prestige and the 'wow appeal' of the mighty Vauxhall flagship?.......

I mean, how can anyone with the I.Q of a retarded goat be worth that type of money?.

Rooney is playing well...as a defender.

At £300,000 A WEEK, old chimp face doesn't need the other ten players. He could win the game on his own.

On a private road it managed a standing quarter mile in 14.2 seconds at 101.8 MPH.

May your road tax always be high.......

£280. The same as my Omega.

I like to pretend that mine is 

My car was registered in February 2006.......a mere month before the £200 tax increase.

I briefly hooked my Racelogic Performance Box up to the CLS 500 today.

The result was zero to sixty in 5.64 seconds in 86.38 metres. So it's pretty quick.

The speedo shows 64 MPH at a true 60 MPH.....so don't believe what you see on the clock.

There's an Audi S3 on Youtube that does 0-125mph in 6.6, so you ain't that quick ;)

It would need about 800 BHP to do that.......so obviously far from stock.

Well Done Girl!

.....Lizzie doesn't need the money. She reputedly owns four thousand acres of the finest Kent countryside.

Rob sorry to hear things aren't great. I can see where you are coming from as I don't have a pot to piss in and would give my right bollock for a bit of luxury abroad, even working ! Some people are in better places and may find it difficult to appreciate how hard things can be for others at the moment, good luck to them though  

Whatever is going on for you there is support around, on here and elsewhere. I have had my share of feeling worthless and would be happy to give you a bit of support if you choose to rejoin at some point and wanted to PM me.

Take care 

I wouldn't go that far. A toe or a finger, maybe.

My fingers are in my ears, Andy.
