No worries, she was jealous of your overtaking...she couldnt find the right gear, plus had the dog in the back!

lol, they had been for a muddy walk in Wepre park..

Thats the trouble with 6 gears...too many to choose from to get the right one when your not practised at it!

Lot to be said for auto's!

Yes, its the 150 bhp 1.9...And it is no slouch!  50-70 is noticabley slower than a v6 omega, but low down stuff there is less in it than most would think.
