I work for Oldbury Power Station in Thornbury, so effectively British Nuclear Group and soon to be called Magnox North. Been working their for 2 years but now I've finished uni I'm permanent staff so its all good. Do a fair few miles though as live 30 miles away.

What are all these cars like to make love to Ralphy? Is Ralphy like a car love magnet? Are cars magnetic? It's not something I've ever checked. They must have some iron components. Maybe Ralphy's devotion is creating a magnetic field of love. I think that's like Rohypnol but for cars. |

Glos Robin, you're gonna love the 2.2 diesel Civic, pulls like a train from low down the rev range.
Hasn't got the grin inducing howl of the Type R engine or as much power (138 bhp vs 198 bhp) but the torque that diesel chucks out is immense. Good overtaking car.

Yeah I've test drove it and it'll certainly do a job. The superchip puts on an extra 27bhp according to their quotes but people have said it actually puts it anywhere upto the mid 170/180's so I'll be interested to see what its like when this gets done. Superchips are good and offer a good warranty so I'm not to worried about letting them due it. |

It's not all about power.
Torque is what moves the car.

Thats bloody good on a V6 engine.
Is that the first or second service it's had?
The second is normally a major one.
Don't VW/Audi cars have variable service intervals like BMW's depending on fuel used and how hard the car is driven?

I am not completely sure but I have a feeling it is actually the third as the service book had been stamped twice but there were other receipts and stuff so it may have been more. It has done 75,000 km and I only got it serviced as the computer told me too! It would have been cheaper had I not had to get the tyres changed over to summer ones which I think cost about 35 Euro (£20) |
