    I have a 20 mile drive to work that is nearly entirely all m1. The snow and ice made the drive interesting for a change!

    It could be worse I guess, I've a rust spot to deal with, and wanted to get it properly detailed, so hopefully getting it all done at once will drive down the cost, I was rightly disgusted, and know it wasn't there last week as myself and my mechanic went through the various scratches and rust bits in terms of the nct.

    Drives me mental people can't be arsed to leave a note tho!

    Anyone fancy a DB9?

    http://www.carzone.ie/search/Aston-Martin/DB9/V12/201107201265006/advert?channel=CARS

    That's some value in fairness. Wonder why the engine was replaced though. :/

    That DB9 has been for sale forever. Really put you off knowing the engine had been changed though. Some rich fella thought his car never needed servicing. The history of it would be interesting to know.

    Not necessarily, if it was changed by Aston Martin and they have given it another warranty I wouldn't see the problem.

    On the other hand, every other wearing part of the car could be in question.

    Without my 8 ish mile spin to where I usually work the ZT is about 12mpg for the last 80 miles.

    Bumped into a lad that was a year ahead of me in college last night, sound fella, used to be mad into Asconas and the like years back. He was telling me he has a 1.8 159 (Opel engined aren't they?) now and 'tis mad for the petrol, "awful hoor for it altogether" (he's from out the sticks), "couldn't keep petrol in the thing" he was saying.

    RJ unfortunately won that p1ssing contest decisively

    I think all the petrol engines, except the 1.7 TB are GM units...

    Open to corrections :)

    Yup as far as I know the 1.8mpi, 2.2jts, and 3.2jts are all GM units with some Alfa parts stuck on to them. 3.2 is a crap engine..

    Dunno about the 1.9jts petrol engine though, not sure of that's Alfa's own engine or a GM unit again.
