I've got a selection of motorbikes, and a Golf R which I really like. Sold my BMW 650 coupe to buy the R.

Two sentences, but as I said it opens up a can of worms. DPF are fitted for a reason, particulate emissions from Diesel engines are known to be very nasty and a huge health issue.Neal,
You mention the VAG group and morals in the same sentence?
I Let 'em off because they let the next gen Bugatti go through purely from a Top Trumps perspective, but come on!

I know mate, as you said it does teeter on a moral issue.

Well the Delica is now toast, or at least I'm not willing to spend the money on it. :-(
On the upside, decided to get a new car, so getting one of these-
Michelle liked it because it's orange, which is her favourite colour..
I liked it because the price was right, good equipment levels, and cheap to run but still with a little poke, at least enough for overtaking - 1.4 petrol turbo with 140bhp Fiat engine (Jeep is now owned by Fiat). Still drives like a 4x4, but has a surprising level of refinement.

Nice... I actually like that. The orange suits it
So what happened to the Delica (was that what you had with you at NEBO?) Oh, and how's Michelle doing now, mate? We've been saying prayers for her at mass every Sunday.
