Took it on a 4 hour 99% motorway journey and cleared all the stats. At the end of it I have a sweet little 66.6mpg!! Devilish!!

The only thing I miss about my old 2.3t 95 is the stage 3 ECU upgrade. Now that was sweet.

Not been there for years. BBC moved to the Mailbox, though. I assumed Top Gear had as well.

Currently driving a 2007 Honda Civic type S GT 2.2 CTDi.

I have the TTid rather than the Tid. Already at 185 BHP which is hardly bad, i just had about 280 from the old car... still doesn't feel too sluggish.

I drove a bi-turbo 535D today (not to buy sadly) and I have to say, even though it was only 20 mins in it, my good is that a good car!!! What an engine.

I never want to test drive a BMW.... I know they are probably amazing to drive, but I like being a good driver and not a motorway t0$$p0t.

Unless its an M6... I could make an exception for that I think.

You're a better driver in your focus though!

I'm sure they are great and it really is only a stereotype, but 9 times out of 10 the w**ker rushing up behing you on the motorway and flashing you to move is a bmw.

No, it's not stereotyping. Indicators appear to be an optional extra, too.

Saying that, there's an absolute c#$t that drives from Bourne to Stamford and back in a VW Golf (I could give you the reg!) and she overtakes blindly and has a cup of tea as she's coming through. I really do feel like jamming the anchors on and teaching the prat a lesson sometimes.
