I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as clean diesel, unfortunately. A shame because my Golf TDI was one hell of a car. Quote
Dr. Gonzo Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Speaking of cars, my lease is up in a couple of weeks and I've got to get another one or buy this Golf... but I'm gonna be honest, I don't care if it's a bit of a waste of money - I like leasing cars so I get a new car every three years. My last 2 have been VW Golfs. I'd like a GTI, but I really don't see the need to make my monthly payment be much higher just for a car that'll be more fun to drive... when I actually go places that I can actually have fun when I drive. Most of the time now, I'm just driving in traffic in the morning - so no real fun is had. And that makes me think I want something with good mileage & that's comfortable for me to just be sitting in. I also want it to be a hatchback if possible. My wife is less enthusiastic about me getting another hatchback though, but that's because she's American and Americans hate hatchbacks for some reason.

I would have thought VPN's wouldn't have worked on some places similarly to how it doesn't on Netflix or Dazn, but I guess we're not that advanced Quote

It's been a very exhaustive year. Nah, I was planning to come back around June, when the Euro would kick-off, but it seems there won't be any Euro, so, I decided to anticipate my comeback. 21 hours ago, nudge said: André is back!!!

Administrator Batard Posted March 14, 2020 Administrator Posted March 14, 2020 Given I'll be working from home for the next month, you can expect to see a lot more of me round the forum. Maybe we'll fire up some quizzes and shit seeing as we're going to be spending a lot of time with each other Quote

Sometimes being a hero is not all it's cracked up to be.... sometimes I just want to be the wimpy hypochondriac who phones in sick because I had to blow my nose twice in the same day.... On the other suggestions sounds good... was thinking of starting up a film quote quiz 4 Quote
