Yep, but I love it. Loads of space and really comfortable despite the sports suspension. Yes, the 3.0 is practically silent and a relatively 'brisk' cruise home last night along the motorway was just interrupted by a slight ruffle of wind noise round the mirrors, but barely noticeable. Carries the family around well, know they do big miles pretty well, and interior is still tight on this one. Also keeps the miles low on the Monaro angel
I was amazed by how good the interior is after 110k+ miles, bolsters still very pert.

Mine's meant to be a mile soak, but to be honest niggling problems with the power steering, and now a lean DTC (I'm betting o2 sensor) see me recently commuting in the 'ro! Problems should be rare, the EZ30 is meant to be reliable much like the LS1 smile

Totally not HSV/Monaro related, but what better place than the BBQ thread!
Now I've got the small, needed a much better daily driver family wagon than the 14 year old Diesel Seat Leon that was chugging around in. Went and picked up a black facelift Subaru Legacy 3.0 Spec B Saturday and I love it. First auto I've ever owned, but has the flappy paddle over ride as well if the mood takes and it's bloody rapid! Very 'Q' car too biggrin

Like this - drove one when they were at the Motorshow in 2006 I think.

Thinking of another car myself, but not as a daily...

Just indeed to everything! Stuck in the office today, would love a drive out.
TV sounds good though, still persevering with an original Sony Bravia (one of the early flatscreens, still only 1080i) from 2005! Wife won't let me get a new one until this one goes kaput. And yes, it's been tempting to accidentally fall into it whilst carrying a chair or something.

I think Mrs007 might be unimpressed if you a buying a mattress with the TV savings. Last years Mattress cost us £1400 eek

If you bought a quality mattress, you wouldn't need to keep changing. smile

Replaced one with same type - Quality 10 yr guarantee. Last one lasted 12 yrs. Well worth the cost if it gives you a good night sleep. don't scrimp on a mattress cost as you spend 1/3rd of you life on it wink

I've had back problems for close to 20 years, so really rate a quality mattress. I've bought brand new cars (cheap ones admittedly) for less than our bed cost. redface
