I felt sad about selling our Senator. Sure it had a few electrical niggles, but it was a hoot to drive and once chipped was damn quick!

Remember also, a straight 6 will be smoother than a V6, just a fact of life.

I am starting to want another one now!  :D

Did you happen to keep the chip Dave?  ;)

No good on its own mate. You need a CAR to go with it

Nice car there mate, drool  :y I had a Mk1 senator many years ago and absolutely loved it  :) It was a great car to drive and quite quiet, or so I thought until I had a shot in a Mk2 which was even better (less wind noise) My favourite trick with the digi dash was switching the speedo display to KPH and making all my mates think it was super fast  ;D  ;D  ;D I keep hankering after a Monza, just love the shape...........

Cheers Jim

Early July, however i get very busy in 2 months time. Due to other things as well Made In Brunel show and so on, i'd like to get the car this month or next.


Made in Brunel - does that include some VERY dodgy steam locos before he realised he should stick to civil engineering & ship design ;D

Nothing to do with the 'Made in Brunel' annual show.  Only link is the Brunel University gets its name from the famous engineer who designed some steam engine thingies, as did Churchward. Bit of a weak link though...

No idea. I attended lectures at Brunel. Short of sharing the name, and it being near the start point of Brunel's line through Bristol (and on to USA), I have no idea.

I guess I could Google it, but I really couldn't be arsed, far to busy with other things...

I don't know either I know a lot more about the man due to living in the old GWR area and being interested in railways

No idea why its called Brunel!! - However they are spending big bucks on campus loads of new buildings, apparently its one of the richest University's in the country.

How long ago did you visit Jaime? - The lecture centre was completely re-done with all rooms getting projects/ tvs/ dvds and so on, loads of new buildings here including an 7 million pound in door running track!!

Bloody problem is i hate exercise or gym stuff, i walk the dog and thats it. Not set foot inside the gym since my tour in 2002!!!

No direct llink at all if I remember correctly, it wasn't even called Brunel until fairly recently. I suspect it was simply a name chosen because it was a tech college.
