Thankfully McLaren has listened and made the GT with 570 litres of storage space. It's like they had you in mind

I had to look http://configurator.mclaren.com/configu ... ileName=GT

Strangely, Mclaren don't have any dealers in NI, though you can't move around here for Maseratis, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Astons, and Jag F-Types, even saw a Noble M600 a couple of weeks ago.

Strange that you don't see any of the above in the Republic,wonder if the ridiciously expensive motor tax has anything to do with it?

The M235i is a 2dr Coupe not a 3dr

We are talking about the same car! Offside and near side is the other thing that I can never get right

Still possible to put the offside into a ditch though

And offside is when the attacker is between the defenders and the keeper.

Pete can you explain that with salt and pepper shakers? Otherwise I'll never grasp the concept.

But there are lots of occasions when the attacker is between the defenders and the keeper & NOT offside

Yeah, it is when the attacker doesn't have 2 defending players (one of whom may be the keeper but doesn't have to be) between him and the goal line if he is also ahead of the ball when it is played forward by a player in his own team ... and even then he will only be off side if he is deemed to be interfering with play (doing something like making a movement towards or trying the play the ball or maybe standing in the keeper's eyeline of a shot on goal). And it has probably been changed and unnecessarily over-complicated even more than that since I last had any real understanding of the rule.

You have to say, the fact there's even a vague conversation to be had comparing an RX8 to a practically new M235i tells you Mazda got enough right on the Rex.

They've stolen that almost word for word from Canada and their advice about risk of encountering grizzly bears, the need to make noise so bears will hear them coming and move off into the woods and the differences between grizzly and black (or is it brown) bear droppings.
