Goodbye Lexus, hello Golf

[mp-seventythree]

Yup, my lovely Lexus is going on Wednesday and I'm getting a VW Golf instead. Paying £55 for a tank of petrol has become too much, so I'm getting a diesel which will do twice the miles for the same amount of money.

Sad to see it go, but equally excited about my new purchase.

Bugger, I just noticed I'm going to need a new avatar too :p

I'm guessing you've had your avatar for 10 weeks and 5 days.

Bye Lexus :(

Not that I've been counting....
Thomas, I may need your assistance with a VW avatar in the near future :D

Bye Lexus :(

It's for the best :(

Fuck, man. If you had enough dough to buy a Lexus, you should have bought an R32. Golf's are nice, too, though. I'm just gonna hope it's a VR6 turbo.

Nah, I got a really good deal on the Lex, so I'm not exactly loaded. The new car is a Golf GT Tdi, 130bhp with a six speed box. Already got a new chip on order so from next week it's gonna be 150bhp with about 325 lb/ft of torque (which is about the same as a 911).

I drove an R32 a while back, goes like hell but the ride is spine jarringly hard, and the fuel economy would be no better than what I already have.

[DIGI]

word. I drove an R32 a while back as well, but I found it to be rather smooth. Oh well, different strokes.

You obviously have much smoother roads there. I could really do with a Land Rover for the shite I have to drive on.

[DIGI]

right. Pennsylvania Interstates: Smooth as a newborn's ass. :rolleyes:

Essex roads, smooth as a freshly ploughed field :D
