Riding a donkey with a bad cough would have been similar.

 :grin: :grin: :grin:

Not a donkey, but I have ridden a pony with a bad cough.  Not a pleasant ride, plus the evil little bas**#d kept throwing me off.

Stick to cars.....far more reliable  :laugh:

It doesn't sound like you bonded with Dobbin too well!

I'm sure Drissers BMW will be far more reliable and I'd love a go on one with a gearbox like that.

A colleague of mine said his parents have just picked up an auto Berlingo.
He said its so jerky you need to left foot brake to manoeuvre at low speeds.
The irony of it is that it's his dad that now needs an automatic but he's refusing to drive it and his mum can't drive an auto to save her life (old dog, new tricks and all that).

Dobbin, or Oliver, as he was called, and I had a love-hate relationship.  I loved his challenging personality, and he hated me putting any saddle on him.

I'm sure Drisser's gearbox is superb and a cut above the Golf.  :cool:  But you're right.  Not all auto boxes are equal!

Cue Asker, where is he??

Lovely colour, lovely cabin but I think I would struggle to go back to a car with a handbrake. So yesterday  :grin:

Looks mint for a 11 plate but also very pricey for one  :smiley:

Tell me about it! After a go in the A1last night, I parked it up and almost let it roll into the R!  :shocked:

That's going to take some getting used to on my part.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Enjoy drisser. I had one on a 13 plate but wasn't doing the mileage unfortunately so chucked it in against my (soon to be gone) Z4. Certainly a blast to drive and with plenty of poke. The Estoril looks awesome.

I'd hazard a guess that it's is own number plate.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Blue Estoril is definitely the best colour, enjoy it, I was so close to getting a 125D with the same spec as yours. But I decided to be sensible and go for the GTI ;)
