Ahh, you've still got a while to go before you catch up with my 306. Hopefully your RCZ will be just as hardy as Peugeots of old :D Very near to 150,000 miles on my old girl now, but there's no worry as I saw a Diablo Red one like mine a while ago with 320,000 miles on it :p

That would be me on the way to work, probably (followed by a cloud of black smoke), if I could find a 330cd I liked anywhere at the moment. Sort of swaying towards a MK5 Golf GTI now though. Yeah, I really don't have a clue what sort of car I want now :P

Hope you all had a good Christmas :) I spent most of the day uncovering endless amounts of chocolate to eat and shirts for work, until I was handed a Bang & Olufsen bag with this in it.. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/IMG_0018_zps1f924c8b.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/IMG_0017_zpsb07a9298.jpg No alcohol for me though as I've pretty much decided over the last year that I'm rarely ever going to drink alcohol anymore besides having the occasional small taster if something someone else is drinking looks interesting :p

A song that never really gets going, but I love it.

Some teen angst for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPQk3NeyUVs YOU try to take the best of me, GO AWAY!

Went to work for half a day. Got given Christmas presents by random people at work. Left work at 1PM to go to the work's Christmas dinner which was quite good really. Stood in a jam-packed bar for 30 minutes before I got naffed off* and came home. No work until the 2nd January now. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. *"Naffed off" seems to have multiple definitions, but my definition of it is to get fed up of something.

I had similar recently. A girl I quite liked the look of was working where I work for just over a month recently. She was actually the secretary's daughter (oooer). She gave all the signs of being massively in to me which instantly rang alarm bells in my mind. Honestly she'd say some crazily weird things which you'd think a girl would only say to someone if they really wanted 'it', and fast. I ignored all of this, last day she was there my mind was going crazy because I was going to ask for her number or something. A part of my mind said "Don't bother", so I left it. Felt gutted for a few days, got back to work after the weekend and wasn't as bothered, a week later I overhear her mum in a conversation at work confirming said girl already had a boyfriend. So I avoided making myself look a complete fool, so after all is said and done I'm quite happy I was my normal hesitant self. Mother of God, she was one attractive lass though.

Said I wouldn't spend any more until after Christmas after buying a GoPro Hero 3 just over a week ago... Ended up with an iPhone 5S today. Anyone want an iPhone 4 that is locked to O2? (not a for sale post, I know some people who may want it already).

New-ish Potenzas? I'll happily take them off your hands for free :p

Because my car is so woeful I took my dads for a 30-70MPH (allowed in this thread? :p ) video as I'm now insured on it. Cocked up a bit and should've kept going in the same gear, but it wouldn't be too dissimilar. Don't know if this will work as an embedded video as I'm keeping the video Unlisted on YouTube.

Normal service..

Once I've left work on the 20th December. A lady at work is decorating the office on Monday with trees and fake presents and all sorts of other stuff though. I asked for Xsara Mist Jets for my car and they cost about 2p on eBay, but I'll be happy enough with that. The standard washer jets are currently doing my head in because despite 28,000 adjustments they still shoot water to the incorrect place. I just asked people what they wanted or spied on them while they were shopping to see what they were after. The spying aspect you may think is dangerous, but no-one really buys anything unless necessary at the moment. Probably. I don't plan on being at home for more than a total of 90 minutes on Christmas day (once I've woken up). Although I agree it's a good time to catch up with family, my house will be full of my dad's girlfriends family who just constantly make noise and I can't stand it. So I'll be shooting off to my nans house and then my mums house later on and staying there for as long as possible. I've only just began to realise it'll probably be the same New Years Eve so I'll just have to hoon about in the car or something :p

I've seen on HotUKDeals that Amazon.com (not co.uk) may be taking it as low as £15.28 which would be a definite buy. Only problem is that's at 2:10AM. I'll probably be able to check the score before 7:30AM tomorrow and then not until after 6PM. Thanks.

24GB..:eek: I think I need a disc copy.

I was quite annoyed with myself that I missed Battlefield 4 (PC) for £23 in Amazon's Black Friday sale :(

My future car(s) would be every Sales Representative's wet dream.. sort of, back in the day. E46 330D (Manual) (Not a Touring, but that's my ideal colour combination) or Skoda Octavia vRS TDI or Audi A4 TDI Quattro S-Line Special (Currently looking into all of these) In an ideal world if I didn't have to travel so far everyday/sit in traffic so much: E46 330i (Manual) or VW Golf GTI (Manual) Slightly more silly wants: Subaru Impreza WRX STI or Ford Mustang Fastback

I know, it's almost like the end of an era for me really as you could hardly keep me off San Andreas, but the newer era of GTAs just hasn't entertained me like I thought they would do so easily. I don't think I'll give up the name just yet though. I might try and slowly put some more hours in to the game than I have been and hopefully that will change things :p

I went on this for the first time in about a month today. Got my $500,000 and blew most of it on an apartment. Stole a high-end car and took it to Los Santos Customs thinking I could make it mine as easy as that. Los Santos Customs door closed as I drove in and the game told me the car was too 'hot' to modify and then wouldn't let me exit the garage. Waited for someone else to come along and open the door so I could get out, but they killed me, luckily I bank any money I get as soon as I get it so the killer didn't get anything. I still got fed up/bored 15 minutes later and turned the game off. Can't get into GTA Online at all, don't know what it is that makes me uninterested in it. Although I must admit I did find it fun towards the start when I stumbled across a couple of you when Online was first released.

Off work this week. Got the car cleaned today, had a chill-out day yesterday. Just started doing my online Christmas shop for this year, got six items in my basket and then the website stops responding, now I'll probably lose everything in my basket :/ Edit: An hour later and now most of my Christmas shopping is done, might get a few little odd bits and pieces at some point later on. Ahhh, how I love internet shopping :p

My problem is my car seems to do no less than 45MPG, even if I spend a week booting the thing all over the place, so I'd probably start suffering from depression as soon as I touched the accelerator in a 3-litre petrol :p In terms of BMW gearboxes I didn't really have any problems with them until it came to selecting reverse gear, but I had a quick play with a 6-speed manual box on the weekend and I've got the hang of reverse now. The pedal layout is something I'm still yet to get used to as they're a little off-set compared to the 306 and anything else I've driven.

Funny, my mum is looking at the 1-Series Coupe now because VW aren't doing much to help her get into a MK7 Golf. She's not looking at getting a petrol though, I agree she probably needs a diesel due to her annual mileage. I didn't think it was too bad in the back of the 1-Series Coupe though, I had some space left over even with the front seat back to how the person in front wanted it and I'm not exactly short. I did get her interested in the new shape 125D despite its ungainly looks, then I found an Estoril Blue 120D that she also liked and is in her price range (same price as the previous generation 1-Series Coupe :s ) so I'm hoping she might want to look at that and not go any lower than a 120D. I made her laugh evilly when I told her it had the same power output as my step-dad's 330D :p They had a Imola Red 135i with beige leather and nav at the dealer we visited which I really, really liked, but 50 miles a day at 30MPG or less will probably naff me off no matter how good the car is.

Yes, videos/sounds of that engine. The V5 and V6 sound equally awesome to me.

Getting so annoyed with the standard washer jets on my car doing hardly anything when I use them and Xsara Mist Jets appear to be a well-recommended upgrade to the 306 so I plan to buy some of those and fit them this week.

Something slightly different from me today..
