Re: magnum RSX
If we're talking fast Vauxhalls, I prefer the Chevette HSR. Perhaps your mate wouldn't hit you quite as hard if you got one of those instead. ;) All the best, Andrew. I prefer the saloon look to the hatch though although them hsrs seem to go brilliantly. My best mates dad has a Firenza Droop Snoot ...

Re: The "Paving Slabs" Story

Do you give a groan and give your 'you're an idiot' face, or do you smile politely and give a tactful 'oh really'? I do the latter. They get a smile and nod from me. They wont listen to any...
