Couple of times a week usually - apart from long runs when I'm skint it gets used for everything other than the commute. Was actually tempted to use it for work last Friday purely because it has aircon - restrained myself as the air-con is definitely more "slightly cooler than ambient" rather than actually cold at the moment (I'll get it gassed next month  ) and I need to be sensible on the money as I've got a couple of expensive events coming up and the car needs a laundry-list of work doing  Aah, good stuff. Can't be dealing with cars missing aircon  Mazda nearly killed me in Middlesex/London in the heat of summer hunting for cars. Yeah the pug is extra painful in any sort of heat - Friday turned out to be especially bad as I had to do an extra round trip home at lunch to pick something up so that was an extra two hours driving at the hottest part of the day in car that closely resembled an oven!

Most definitely. I think you would appreciate the noise. When will I next see you, oh floppy haired hippy of Brighton? I had to really think hard about what Russ was on about then, is it much louder? Parked next to 2 (yes 2 together) M5s in Asda Waterlooville (My mate had to pick a few things up) and they were too muted for my liking. Slightly disappointing like the old V8 Bi-Turbo RS6.

I'd argue that it was longitudinal instead of horizontal but I'll let him off, he's getting old. It is very very loud. No doubt I'll be down in Farnham soonish so I can deafen you.

KaraK said: Ignore him 'Ryn - he's just grumpy because he was a member of an inferior college I was. Having said that, I remember Grizedale accomodation well. The rumour was that they didn't render those brick walls because the render would have brought the room area under the legal residential size limit. I had a large double aspect penthouse suite with commanding views South and West. For £35 a week.

Didn't stop me spending two years living in it though! Cartmel was much the same though as I found when I spent a hienous few weeks there before getting my nice palatial room in Grad. I was kind of sad to discover that they've knocked it all down now!
