Totally pointless you say?

What about glass inside glass?

Out of interest, on a involving road, are these fun for their size?
Surprisingly good. It's never going to set the world on fire, but it stiffens up well as you corner, giving it excellent handling for the size

Now Ive seen it, I need an electric armrest in my life!

Glass within Glass, Im sure ive read something about that. Is it to do with cabin comfort? Keeping the climate, and noise levels etc
Exactly, why would you not need an electric armrest?!

I think it probably is. I need to find the official reasoning behind it. I have just purchased an excellent XM book, which should be here within the next few days.

That's very nice,i thought you sold the GTA
I did, but I bottled out because they were going to turn it into parts.

It's on eBay and due to finish tonight. I'd love to keep them both, but it's not sensible.

That car was local to me when new, by the look of it. End of the number plate + the broach hill sticker smile
The sticker is now removed

Just done a little more minor stuff.

I back to blacked the A pillar area, which was a little worse for wear



And I did the same on the door handles





It's the little details that matter

Part of the car's originality surely - or do you just hate dealer stickers?
With a passion. Ugly things.

I'm loving the arm rest

Does it have air con? And does it work? smile
Oui...Et non laugh

It needs re-gassing I think.

Another fine choice sir, hopefully this one will work out better!

Loving the pimp armrest, but slightly disappointed by the lack of boost gauge in the dash - I'm sure my Grandad's old TD had one. Does it have the switchable sports suspension?
It does indeed, and makes a surprising difference. You will have to meet me at Southways when I take it down sometime.

Took the luxo-barge into work today for the first time, and it was lovely driving in town. It did exactly what I got it for. A nice, comfy, easy journey with minimum fuss. Very pleased.

Now the important question, sans mud flaps?

I feel a fact-off between you. Ready, steady, go!!
Not had a proper read yet, but one thing I did notice today....the XM as a 3rd sun-visor behind the rear view mirror. And I thought this was a relativity new idea!
