Spoke to my mechanic about 10 minutes ago all being well work on the 2.2 starts on Monday, what swayed me you might ask? Well swmbo said I really like my estate the sunroof the automatic gearbox & the cruise control !!! Nice that she cares that much I thought, she'll be after my V6 next.

Have spent a lot of time over the last few days looking at various cars just in case something decent was out there  before spending out on the 2.2 .I have never seen so much rubbish being offered for sale the mileages on some of these cars was ridiculous for the ages of them , made me realise just how good my 2 migs are .

Have got my deposit back on the Astra

I never did understand the want/need for a diesel convertible. Do you really like the noise/smell of a diesel engine that much?

As the driver of a convertible (well, it doesn't even convert into anything remotely waterproof) a diseasel convertible is probably marginally better appreciated from the driver's seat than from the car behind.

The exhaust burble is an important part of it, though, and the sound of a skeleton pleasuring himself in a biscuit tin doesn't seem an acceptable compromise, somehow.

You need to try one surprisingly quiet, but I didn't buy it anyway!! Not because it was a diesel but just makes more sense with the dogs to have the estates.

Still undecided what to replace the 2.2 estate with, but have started getting it ready for sale/scrap both front alloys shod with Michelin primacys have been replaced with the space savers one from the estate the other from the 2.6 they had done less than 3,000 miles can't let them go !! So now have alloy spares with matching tyres in the 2.6, private plate now on retention and 03 plates (original dealership) back on Actually feeling quite sad to see the old girls end.😢 😢 😢.
