HAHA i know that feeling now i have become a dad !  :shocked: :grin:

 :grin: :grin:

........and still nothing they want to wear  :lipsrsealed:

Yup!!  :whistle:

Boring update but since getting the wheels aligned and 'learning' how to drive the V6 / DSG combo average MPG has gone from 31mpg to 34.8mpg  :whistle:  and that includes some spirited spints against those who underestimate the 'wagon'  :lipsrsealed: :evil: :laugh: :laugh:

I reckon with some warmer weather I can crack 40........

Just seen this clip, frightening!
Makes me realise why I don't do traffic light drag offs anymore. You sometimes get embarrassed by these sort of sleepers that you think are unlikely to get anywhere near you.  Damned forced induction, even bloody Corsas can show me a clean pair of heals these days! I get a thumb up more often than not though, where-as Corsa drivers get a different finger.........  :evil:

You'll be pleased to know that I don't often launch it from the lights  :grin:

There's very little need.....just make sure the gearbox is in sport mode and hold on tight  :laugh:

Indeed it is  :smiley: :laugh:

In other news I took the car back to the garage I bought it from to sort the not locking fuel flap and the noisy screen

Went to pick it up tonight and it turns out the auto electrician has NOT fixed the fuel flap!! :angry:

And all they did with the screen was clean out some dust and lubricate the mechanism........ :angry:
