  1. My grandmother had this on an ornament book, the poet is unknown I believe.
  2. But will they carry that speed on ground that's not ideal?
  3. Sorry about your wife mate.
  4. Come on lads we've been having this debate for ten year now, dogs will be in rigor mortis by the time you put it to the test.
  5. Yep, went through water pumps in the space of 10 month, now sensors galore, one thing after the other, it's going.
  6. 40mpg is good enough for me tbh, the tyres on my Passat were over 600, Michelin CrossClimate. I know what you mean about motors, the novelty soon wears off and you begrudge forking out for them.
  7. Thinking 430d or 530d now, I think the 4 series looks better, gonna see if they are big enough though.
  8. You sure it's not a bad case of flatulence?
  9. We found one at Port Talbot steelworks, loads have been found there. We did a massive job at Tinsley, Sheffield and I expected to find a few there but we never did.
  10. Not bothered about the VAG group, Passat has scared me off.
  11. Why do they use cross breds in racing when the Saker is the fastest falcon?
  12. It just felt super stable and planted, loved the heavy steering as well, brilliant car. Never gave it any in the corners, just took it for a run on the motorway, I'd almost hit 160mph by the time I'd run down the slip road, rapid.
  13. I drove M2 Competition a few years ago, hit 165mph in no time. But like you say, they feel that planted it's not hair raising, my arse has twitched more in an old Civic Type R, but then again that's always the case when you're a passenger.
  14. What about meet half way, 430d?
  15. The 420d is fine for me, 60mpg and 0-60mph in around 7.3 secs, still tempted with a 435d, 0-60mph 4.7 secs.
  16. I was thinking of getting the 435d but just going to look at the 420d, only 30 quid a year tax instead of around £200, still nippy enough for me and our lass, 435d is probably overkill with today's roads, cameras everywhere.
  17. I'm reluctant to go with Audi with all the bother I've had with the VW.
  18. It's not, faults constantly appearing, looks like the dual mass is on it's way out, bag of shite.
  19. Probably right that, luck of the draw.
  20. Anybody on here got a Beemer, thinking of getting a 4 series Gran Coupe, not impressed with this VW Passat I've got, looked after it well and had nothing but trouble with it for the last year.
  21. A bit different from flat caps and whippets like, I know the Peregrine is known as the fastest creature on earth but that is in a dive, I think Sakers are faster at horizontal flight? Ducks and Swifts are also properly fast at flying.
