    Or forget the car and play a 12 hour marathon game of world of geekcraft III?

    Why is it that Passat tdi drivers always get in a huff when BMWs are mentioned???

      I'd guestimate mine's lost about £400 in 18 months and about 40,000 miles.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          Saw a classic case of BMW driving yesterday.
          Narrow street with cars parked on the right hand side (from my direction of travel), there were 3-4 cars coming in the other direction so i stopped before the parked cars to let them past as they had got there first.
          Next thing i know, some plonker in a BMW 318 roars past me from behind, finds himself face to face with the oncoming cars and so, without stopping, has to mount the pavement to pass them.

                  how come?
                  Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.

                      Had a long weekend in Rome and in all the hair raising taxi rides, the only seriously dangerous moment was caused by Mr 3 series, who just like here, pushed it just that bit further and relied on everyone else not to ram him (one day, one day!)
