  12. No Name says:

    BM – I’m getting slightly concerned about your mental health old Gal. You have obviously inhaled too much petrol vapour driving those monster cars of yours. Tee Hee

  13. Andrew M says:

    thanks for the compliment TP!!!! (I am smart)

    i personally think the XR5 focus is the best damn looking small car out there.

  14. Andrew M says:

    No Name,

    ha ha ha ha

  15. Bavarian Missile says:

    hahaha……….thanks AndrewM …..my little mate! Plus one would get a black nose!

    I agree with you Andrew……….but then again I would..hehehe

  16. No Name says:

    I heard of brown nosing it but never black nosing it!

    I remember reading few years ago about a Golf TDI being used for rallying doing pretty well in its class beating some petrol cars. One day it’ll happen one day, just let me dream a bit longer.
