Are you going to get your own pewter tankard to hang behind the bar?

When Lakeside first opened, must have been early 90s, there was an Italian restaurant which served proper pizza. Probably the first place I ate real pizza in UK.

It was really nice, that place. Everything changes :-(

Now, see I used to think that but now we live a stones throw from Trafford Centre, it's brilliant. If it's packed I can just turn around and go home with no bother. Clearly it's a complete no-go zone from November to mid-January though.

That still leaves us the problem of how we're going to shift the things elsewhere.

One thing at a time, c. We have a plan to get this out of the City.

Is she expecting, P? If not, let her buy her own car.

I say these things not to hurt, i, but to educate.

NB: My current fleet includes a Caterham Seven, rear wheel drive car lacking any form of electronic trickery, an Aston Vantage in which I switch the traction control and DSC off if wishing to hustle along in a fun manner, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee for when it snows. The glw has a front wheel drive car, which is just as it should be.

My murcialago is 4 wheel drive(lp640) so I would disagree with your point 2

Fair enough t; that is a matter of taste. I'm very much a traditionalist, I'm afraid. I drove an Audi Quattro for a while back in the day, and it just didn't do it for me.

I have indeed, i. :hehe: Lots of fun. I had a mate who had a Scoobydoo Impreza with a massive aftermarket turbocharger. That was simply mental.

I had an Evo 9 as my toy car for a while. Fúcking blistering pace and handled like t was on rails.

I used to spend around £1,500 a year on tires alone.

I wish I had kept it tbh.

I knew this was a dangerous idea.
Now I am thinking of other cars.

Cars used to be so much fun :cry:

I drove an M3 as my main car from 1994 to 2014. Changed for a new one every 2 years, that's about 10 cars, isn't it? Every single one was wonderfully entertaining and riduclously cheap.

no, perfectly good boot space. 5 seats, etc., sw

Just a rock hard ride (previous owner had Eibach'd it up) and any passengers get thrown around a little.

You wouldn't really want to cruise a motorway in it. If you did, you had to do 60mph to get any decent mpg out of it and you could feel every, single, ****ing lump, crack, stone on the road.
