Remember - it only takes a few inches of water to drown a 406 don't make the same mistake I made! The V6 Exec is no more.

Driving a V6 that way, whilst expensive on the fuel, can make for interesting driving. :mrgreen:

We have not heard from Pris recently - I do hope you did not exceed the speed limits.

Dear Mr Earwig,

It has come to my attention that you have WAY, WAY too much time on you hands :!:
(and you are a nutter but, very amusing :!:
Thanks, cheered up an otherwise crappy day :lol:
Have a very Merry - whatever you have down there :roll:

They have christmas too, then boxing day is St. Steven's day, and as my name is Steve I get like a 2nd birthday :cheesy:

Too much time? Too bluddy cold to do anything! Sitting in my house now and it's 12 degrees C in here, I'm bluddy freezing! Worst of all, winter proper hasn't even started :(

Sretan Božić i sretna nova godina to you kind sir!
