Post by: Timbuk on 29 October 2006, 14:52:39
Just popped round to my local Asda, after hunting for a parking space for 4 1/2 years i finally found one and as i was pulling in noticed a friend of mine was loading the boot of his brand spanking shiney new six week old BMW 5 series, he then noticed me. I parked up, got out and do you know what he said??????? ' God Doug , that sounds bloody lovely ' Fourty grands worth of BMW next to  500 quids worth of V6 Omega and he commented on the Meega. Yep, grin i did :)
