thanks all, won't bore y'all the gory details of a cynical 'wipe the competition out' type corporate take over, suffice it to say the only thing I'll have is an income for now. Total devastation with no consideration of a wider societal impact.

Anyway, mark! :smiley: yep she is still running like a dream, replaced 4 tyres with asymmetrics and the handling improved like you would not believe. Pescaras were a great alternative to monzas as I couldn't get a good cheap genuine set anywhere. 

So bring on the dsg service, 4th year main service, cam belt, water pump and fuel pump changes that are due ........ Eeeek! Worse than a 996 and less mpg! But, I love it  :laugh:

Excellent news! I felt for you for thinking you might have to lose your Ed30.

I would have suggested something like a new Fiat 500 Abarth or a previously used Lupo GTI.

errr  :rolleyes: snot an ed30. Same as yourself Red, minus all/most the expensive wonderfulness. Just the pescaras... Only got them since I couldn't find genuine monzas at the right price.

Gonna bite the bullet and do the works on her asap. Only 35k miles but just want these expenses out of the way whilst I still have a decent salary. Biggest shower of barstewards outside of the stealer network these new employers, would love to tell all but this is so not the place. :lipsrsealed:
