Just in case anyone's wondering, no it wasn't me! If I had to pick one aspect of the 406 to bang on about, it wouldn't the the cd changer and its measly 6-pack.

I thought about what that chap said and I can see what he meant.....A nice comfy cruise machine and plenty of music to listen too :) it's just that it's an odd thing to comment on, like no-one else has a CD player :?

I was amazed that the shopping centre let them do that - what with all the tyre marks an all :shock:

The best bit was when for a split second you caught a glimpse of the film crew in a window reflection as the chasing car (was it a corvette? can't remember) hurtled towards them sideways. They were starting to run for their lives :twisted:
