As it's Valentine's Day tomorrow I wanted to share the love for the FFRR!

I just had a long arduous drive back to Kent from a day working in the Midlands. I had adaptive cruise on and sat on the inside lane letting the world go by, seeing the majority of cars speed up and braking in lanes 3 and 4 on the M25. I have given up this game as it doesn't really make much difference to the arrival time.

As the traffic cleared further in to Kent I could begin to really enjoy the power. The best bit was sitting besides an oik in a tricked out bright orange Seat Leon. I couldn't help but floor it and I left this guy standing. I'm not condoning wreckless driving and I only went up to the speed limit, but the exhilaration of acceleration and being forced back in to my seat put a big grin on my face.

The 4.4TDV8 is by far the best engine I have had in any car I have ever owned, out of almost 50 cars.

This one's a keeper and my FFRR is my valentine! 2005 L322 Vogue Gold gone

chav

Oh the simple Chav, what a constant source of amusement you are!
Chavs are the dregs of human existence. They live merely to everyone else off with their love of crap clothing and manky gold jewellery.
They have taken the wearing of tracksuits and baseball caps to a new level of pikieness.
Chav girls (or chavettes) commonly sport the Croydon Facelift (hair pulled back in a bun so tight that it pulls their faces tight) with at least 6 dangly faux-gold earings in each ear. Also often seen pushing a pram round shopping centers while chain-smoking and wearing fake burberry or nasty velour tracksuits. A favourite accessory is a hideous gold articulated clown dangling from a thick gold chain around their pimply acne scarred necks.
Male chavs hang around in gangs spitting alot and trying to start fights with small children or anyone else that they could easily overpower (which really is just small children!). Once they are of driving age they obtain a clapped out old Nova or Metro and then spend a fortune (no one knows where this money comes from, it is one of the many mysteries of the chav) "maxing it up" with big wheels, sound systems and a huge " pipe" exhaust. Chavs can be seen in any copy of Max Power magazine proudly displaying their efforts at automotive design - tossers !!!
Look at the 20 inchers on me Nova, it's well phat innit! Bling Bling!

When the extra power causes premature gearbox failure....

I understand that it's the TD6 gearbox that has all the issues. 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography
