Hi guys,

not been around for a bit due to work etc.

just reading thru the posts and I can only agree. The indicator issue really gets my goat and is a regular argument with my g/f as she doesn't bother using them. Although since I've started to moan at her she's got better.

On the diesel front, I must admit I'm probably one of those ppl who ask the q's like 'how does it run for a diesel'. it's not out of nasttyness or 'wooo look at me i drive a petrol car', it's just out of interest. I hear so many story of fast diesels and the fuel economy is great. The only thing that puts me off is the sound. Do you get diesel cars that sound good?

I was reading a car mag this week with the new audi R8 diesel!!!! it's better than the petrol but I wonder how the V12 engine in it would sound compared with the V8 petrol.
