Ahhhhha petrol again

Here somebody should try to tell you that it's lardy... ;-)

Epic whoosh.

Because my Aero appears to have been fitted with an injection box (less wear when removed) when the gearbox gave up, it does 70 at 3k rpm. This would explain why it can accelerate like a chimp up a tree without the turbo kick in the kidneys and occasionally hit fuel cut in all gears while standard. And why it drinks a little more but is better than the Celsior.

I thought chrome highlights made cars look pikey?

Eh?

Silver shit scattered all over the inside makes it look like a branch of Dixons circa 1998.

Black and chrome exteriors look good.

HTH.

Black and black exteriors look better :-)

Hmmm, no sure myself.

I've seen 3-series cars in ES and SE trim, the SEs with the chrome window surrounds definitely look better. Same with the B6 Passat.

However, this may or may not be influenced by my knowledge that no chrome = pikey spec.

I'm loving the fact my P38 has zero chrome other than the exhaust tailpipe. Blacker than a black thing. The spotlights and wheels are irritatingly non-black. I think it needs gunmetal grey wheels...

Dare I mention John Barrowman again?

It's not a Gaylander, it's a Range Rover.

Yup - and he drives a black one on TV :-)

Which is an L322, not a P38 :-p

Picky, picky :-)

Wouldn't you be? Given the alternative?
