the 406 is fantastic, best car ive ever had. Great levels of comfort especially on the bumpy roads where i live, and the strut brace really does help in the corners.
I like how it can be fixed, nothings overly complicated, and its not too hard to get ones for parts, im waiting on someone to get back to me about one i spotted last week.

Re: Today i have mainly been ....
It was the rusty doors and the fact that the garage seemed to be hesitant about even seeing that there was a problem with the engine mounts that I got fed up and sold it.
But at least, if I was needing a 4 door saloon again, I would look for a decent one now I know exactly what to look for.
We did look at a 307 HDi for the other half, but it was a scrapper.

Re: Today i have mainly been ....
I jumped back into the 406 today to take it to get its last bits done before its re-test tomorrow and after 2 weeks driving the MR2 every day I was amazed how much easier to drive it was, No wrestling with the electric power steering pump (MR2!!!), no deafening noise first thing in the morning (decat and full stainless system), 4 seats, and tons of room!
It needs to get back on the road ASAP!!

I used to get drunk and buy stuff on ebay.
Broken laptops and the like used to arrive and I'd forgot I bought them.
So I changed my password to an obscure password that I can only remember (or type
) sober!
Didn't gmail have a feature where after 1am you had to answer sobriety questions to send an email?

Sometimes I wonder if I should enable it!
