lol, there is nowt like a silky smooth V6 - our Avantime has a V6 with LPG - but its still that
nasty thing that you have to *pay* for fuel..... there's a reason why one of our Cav's and my
Astra are TD's.....   ;)

Anyone for chips?   :y

Hi Claire, Welcome to the OOF..  :y

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.

hi Claire,  and welcome, LOVE the number plate on the De on wedding duty.....   :D


there's very little on wheels on this planet i'd rather have over a decent Mig estate....   although i must admit,  i have been pondering the idea of my next one being a diseasel ....   i keep reading moans about the 2.5,  but not so much about the later 2.2 ,  so been pondering an even rarer (as far as i can tell) 2.2 dti (elite if it exists)  estate....

i suffer a little from lead foot-itis...    so my non-lpg'ed 3.2 sure as all hell lets me know when i've been naughty,  by punching me in the wallet....   

 :-[  it hurts......   

but i think i might be a not very closet masochist....  coz i love those v6's  SO much....

lol Max, I know what you mean about getting punched where it hurts when it comes to 'pressing on', hence why I dont drive the De so much these days - although since I serviced and tuned the engine earlier this year it now does about 23mpg rather then 17mpg   ;D
