Will try and stick around/check in a bit more - I did mean to but life and circumstances got in the way...
I was sad the Puma didn't work out... This was always my number two choice. Shit happens! :-(

That fact that I am back in a vauxhall myself has no bearing on this.....
I do like that. Rather tasty. Be good if they have sorted the handling issues as the high powered Astra's and Corsa's were potential ditch/hedge/tree magnets.
