Just to clarify, the weather was hot, not cool, must look up the details of the Nazi maasacre at Tulle somewhen.

This is exactly what I should have been doing.

+rep because of that. For some reason. :?

Laura's Civic is borked so picked this up for her today:

Her new daily :) it's an A6 20 valve turbo. I was worried that the engine would be a bit underpowered for the size of the car but it actually shifts really nicely! I kind of want it for myself now though, being behind the wheel of an Audi makes me feel like I'm 17 again :twisted: :lol:

I fear she won't want to give that back.

Me too :( I even tried suggesting that maybe I should drive it this week to see if any niggles crop up, but that didn't wash :lol:

:lol: Nice try

Don't know much about these but presume it's a 5 cylinder? I do like the noise those things make :)

Good guess but it's an inline 4 with 5 valves per cylinder :) it isn't bad sounding but you have to roll down the window to hear much, it's a pretty quiet cabin. I'd personally have preferred a V6 model but then it wouldn't really have been suitable for Laura's commute :lol:

I think a remap may be in order though, the power and torque gains possible with this engine don't sound too shabby 8-)

At any rate Laura is very happy with her new car so that's the main thing :)
