Lozz got a good example with fleet history.

The other halfs dad swore on his mk1 diesel until the steering went and put him into a ditch on the other side of the road

And when we were talking punts, I thought Ireland had left the euro.

Good advice for C5 drivers.
Go to your nearest cycle shop and handbrake turn it ;)

Would be nice, I do think the new XJ is very SD1 like.

Needs a sleek Pananfarina look to it. They copied the Daytona, but if you copied a modern Ferrari or Maserati it just wouldn't work. At best it would look like a 407.

Ford may not have been good for volvo, but were they good for jaguar, the reliability improved but the pushed too hard for the pipe and slippers image whereas tata seems to let jaguar modernise which has been good for it. Even Ford looks good when it comes to Jaguar of the 70s and 80s. Nice big mot...

What damage did the Laguna take?

One thing that annoys me its people with agressive dogs.

Especially these chavs that run around with staffordshire pitbulls.

Or the ones that go "oh he'll not harm ye" when its champing at the lead to get at my mums dog.

Tried to phone the Dalai Lama, only this long necked goat answered.

Turns out I'd phoned the wrong number and got through to Dial a Llama.

Lot of ladies who had got fertility treatment ended up with no or late pregnancies.

Turns out the sperm bank was run by RBS.

I would rather burn the money than be forced to purchase a kdfwagen golf.

I reckon the Chinese are currently where the Japanese were in the 70s or the Koreans in the 80s.

Cars that are cheap and a bit of a joke but improving in quality eventually becoming main contenders.

406 was a great handling car. It probably inspired greater confidence in flinging it about than the GTV (though that didn't have great tyres)

Where it went wrong for Volvo was it was owned by Ford for too long.

Hopefully with Geely the Chinese can bring some Asian quality process into the mix.

Good news on the 406! I don't rate the Golf though. Apart from the harsh ride, I don't think they're as well built as the marketing lets on. Have seen a lot with premature rust and the expensive ESP failure that VW wont repair under warranty. Incredibly the Octavia seems to be more solid and has a P...

Those 300s were the last of the tanks.

Big autobox with an old school clattery bulletproof diesel.

Theres a Merc specialist out Crossnacreevy between Roselawn and Moneyrea, always has them outside his workshop.

My 406 could've done with those 2 tone door trims to hide the rust on the doors.

And yet I'm still tempted by a 300C diesel, essentially an American Merc....

Did it hit Lozzs Laguna? (Try saying that after a few pints)
