Sy,

You've obviously been lured to the dark side by some unknown deadly VXR virus. I suggest you have a liedown, relax, take some Stella Artois linctus and meditate over your affliction a while :signLOL:

PS......I think we are off topic, so here's one to pull us back....

I reckon that Aussies would drive the VXR car......and sup Stella XXXX at the same time - assuming that they have any roads above water left :chicken:

I was heading for the Lexus showroom as they had a IS-F in stock - but veered off to Audi, mostly due to the poor weather and RWD v's AWD thing.

That looks like the kind of chav'd up crap i'd expect to see in a Halfrauds carpark - what a horrible looking car!
