I'm the incognito fella on the far left in the last photo.
Definitely winning in the fashion stakes

Well thank fuck you weren't the ginger. I was genuinely worried then. Didn't think we let them on here

What are the chances I mentioned
@Mark_bt52 in another thread and he reappears the same day on the forum?
Welcome back Mark! What cars you got now?
Does this mean we can reopen the manual vs auto gearbox debate and you can liken a manual gearbox to a hand crank or man walking in front with a flag?

Yeah I had, but then I thought I'd come have a look and the top thread had a link to my 306 XSi.
Cool shirts.
No car news, still the same 3.
Most likely next car bought will be for eldest as he is 17 this year.
God I remember posting 'here' when he was born!

That XSi was great. Just something about it I liked much more than the GTi-6 I had later.
Duncs yes, of course! In fact I have finally cancelled Evo in protest after the manual gearbox worship called ECOTY 2020.
(Plus of course there was the joke that the digital edition became last year)

5-speed box? I always felt the Xsata VTS with the 5spd far better suited the engine than the 6spd the GTI-6 had. That just seemed like a marketing ploy to me. ISTR we may have agreed on this many moons ago.

Yes I agree. 6th in the GTi-6 was lower geared than 5th in the XSi and both engines were so flexible that it really wasn't necessary.
(Plus it meant you couldn't turn left properly

)
That car was the first I chose and bought with my own money (following a handed down Metro) so probably felt more special than any other I have had.
Went to Scott_Mac's sister then to Gav.

I'm afraid you're quite wrong, Mark - he's only 8 surely!
