Ok, will do! If you need help I can be with you for 3ish if needed? But, I'll call you!
Yep lift is no problem, and for anyone else...there'll be plenty of space in the car!

Tunnie - I haven't updated my website for like 9 months now  ;D
I'll be bringing the '03 Omega unmarked saloon. But I'm sure there's something I can tempt you with a drive of over the Christams period.

I'm especially looking forward to the lime pickle  ;D
Jaime & Tunnie, do you need help? I can be over at anytime...what suits you?

my dads the only person in the world I know that actually likes it.  :o :o :o :o
That joshwyatt goes mental when the lime pickle arrives. He' ain't got all his dogs on one lead, but we knew that already ;D

clearly! that shite's vile
I'm sure Gixer will teach you the correct way to enjoy all the chutneys/pickles with the big crisp course.  Its all about combinations.

Lime Pickle is utterly vile, but I can't not have some!
I don't like curry or spicy food really, I'll be having chicken and chips  ;D

What plate/engine?

Work mates 2.0 TDi A6 goes well enough for me, but that was 2012 car.

Haha, he may find it too fast  :o

Sold now though. He can have a Grand Vitara, Sharan TDI, Volvo S60, multiple Range Rover's or x2 Arnage's.

I don't know how well 6.75's take to LPG, I think the PPM would be scary  ::)

It was an 07/07, it turned out the alternator was a bit naff, gearbox had odd signals and was very slow. All fixed, and then was suprisingly brisk!

In a couple of years which the facelifted ones have dropped a bit more, I could be tempted by a tractor version of a RR - I was really impressed with its waftability, and the fact it didn't encourage me to be a hooligan. The last RR I drove was probably your old supercharged one, and I don't think I could ever of driven that sensibly.

Oddly, based on expectations, I was impressed with the tractor one, and less impressed with the supercharged V8. Weird, isn't it?

You do get a nice feeling when you often see the bonnet of your car, is higher than the roof of the car in front  ;D

Have to agree though, Arm chairs to sit in. Very very nice  8)

Wish I'd had a go with it working properly...  ...although even when using the flappy paddles, it was still below my expectations for a 160bhp car, compared to the older 1.9TDi variants I've driven before (in A4 cars).

I was specifically talking about the tractor version. Even joshwyatt comment on how sensible I was driving.

A V8 one would result in a quick loss of licence, as its "encouraging".
