A Small Victory!!
« on: 29 October 2006, 14:52:39 »

Just popped round to my local Asda, after hunting for a parking space for 4 1/2 years i finally found one and as i was pulling in noticed a friend of mine was loading the boot of his brand spanking shiney new six week old BMW 5 series, he then noticed me. I parked up, got out and do you know what he said??????? ' God Doug , that sounds bloody lovely ' Fourty grands worth of BMW next to  500 quids worth of V6 Omega and he commented on the Meega. Yep, grin i did :)

Not at the moment i dont want to.....if the 2.2 probs get sorted and it passes mot next month without anything needing doing.....and it shouldnt imo.....3 1/2 yo and 70summat k .....then i will consider a 2.6
