Anyone wanting to point the finger, look at the current morals and ethics drummed into kids and the number of indigenous white scumbags who are avoiding working. I am emphatically not racist, I couldnt give a fuck about someone race, religion or skin colour, but lazy people are something I have NO time for.

Im just going off what the program said http://www.channel4.com/news/dispatches/

they said at 2008 they are registered with YouGove 8 million immigrants and the other 2 are here illegally

the polish are coming over and saying they will work for less doing the same job but they can afford to because they are 10 polish living in 1 house

there is even a polish rep women that takes all the best jobs from the internet and fixs them up with the polish then imports them for the jobs

Reminds me of when people say "I can eat whatever I want and I never put on any weight" - yep, some people like eating lettuce, some don't.

I sold my STi type R last year to get onto the property market, for a run around I brought a 306 HDi estate.
Although as metioned on the previous page... now days mpg wise petrol aint far off diesels driven wisely, the way the road tax is going up next year, I think the 306 HDi was a wise move...

http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/road-tax/?deriv=21495

As a day to day round about, its got all the toys in it and half leather, 136K on the clock and runs like a dream... Insurance is only group 5... So the overall running cost IMO are far cheaper.

Although, if I had the money I'd love to have another Impreza or a Focus RS as a daily driver, but I think the way the road tax is due to go up for March 2001 > cars is silly...

ie... http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/road-tax/?deriv=24069

Anyway, if fuel prices carry on increasing like they are, it wont be long before everyone is out robbing it, It won't take 5 mins to drain a tank, with them now days being plastic, you won't even hear it.

I bought a 3.0 TDi Audi A5, does 0-60 in 5.7 secs, I drive it pretty hard all the time and I get at least 38mpg.

911 does about 17 - 22 mpg.
