I had my car in for its 30,000 mile service at Mill Lane Engineering, Basingstoke yesterday morning - Charles informs me that the car always goes quicker after a service because your wallett is so much lighter!! he smiled after relieving me of £400+!! yes, very good!!

Anyway, I had the use of an Impreza Wagon, new shape, for the morning - only did 45 miles in it, but I was seriously impressed - does the turbo drive the same?? it was VERY civilised indeed. Its still an ugly duckling, ok, you are NOT looking at the car when you are driving it - BUT EVERYONE ELSE IS!! and they are laughing their socks off. It looks like a frog who has just been surprised by George Micheal in the Local toilets!!

HOWEVER, it appeared as if the petrol consumption was as terrible as it is on the Turbo!! I put 8 litres in to cover the 45 miles!! and I am not too sure that the needle went back to exactly the same point as on pick up! so? lets assume 23mpg?? that is REALLY bad from a non-turbo isnt it??????

It was a nice drive though, when they get the looks sorted out and lose those stupid amber 'Kids Bike' reflectors on the wings I may, just may, have a little look see!

Did it have gold alloys?

 

ROTFLMTO

I was severely impressed by the WRX STI 7 when I drove it (not the UK version ) If i had the money I would be prepared to forgive its looks and buy one

 

HA HA HA HA very good!!

No of course it didnt!! the 'Girlie' Sti in the showroom did though!! re-instated my opinion about them ( George Micheal and Elton John would like them ) - if you get my drift!!

LOL@Chrisp, I bit my tongue, I was going to say similar

 

Yeah, I am the same I bite my tongue rather than say something contentious!!

I dont like to say anything that will evoke a reaction

Pete

 

Did it have an "Dancing Elvis "on the dashboard????

 

AHA Luke - you WILL have mail, lots of it!!

Pete

 

So what was this new shape you had then or shouldn't I ask?

Of course not Pete

 

I had an Old Shape for a morning and.....














the museum said as long as i return it undamaged they will not press charges.

STILL awaiting that top class towbar info Tiggs - yawn, yawn, yawn

Michelle - X

Pete

 

xxxx Back at ya babe

 

LMAO at the second paragraph!

when i drove one i thought they were laughing with me not at me!
that figures now!

certainly got some looks innit!

 

oh god, Michelle is flirting again

 

What do you mean again? I always flirt

 

precisely!! that's what "again" means isnt it?

 

It means a break in the pattern

Pete and I always flirt

 

lmao!!! @ "Its still an ugly duckling, ok, you are NOT looking at the car when you are driving it - BUT EVERYONE ELSE IS!! and they are laughing their socks off."

 

When the new facelift comes out, effectively dumping the Uglies into the bargain bin, I may just have a twirl - they need to get it right though!
