honda civic type-R is very high on the list of the best car i have driven at work.....high revving engines my fav....sound so amazing! but the S320 or 525 takes some beating.......also we have convertibles (astra's, SLK's etc) and they are good in the summer... i know what u mean by the vectra GSi mate, they are such a sleeper, look like it cant keep up with anything but can give a BMW or merc a good run for its money!!....have driven it in auto and manual....must say that the auto is so much better, the power delivery is very smooth (come on its a vauxhall) and the manual is too torquey....so its wheel spins galore (mostly in the wet). our germany offices have X5, SL's and Z4, so would love to transfer over to germany for a lickle bit to test out the cars there!

i can only imagine that it will have a adverse effect on the clutch.....but not too sure bout how badly wheel-spinning can be on your car, but know that it will hurt u deeply in the pocket for all the replacement tyres!

It think it busts the driveshafts up too, well the bits that make up the driveshafts, like gators and bushes I suppose.

No - Howdens!!! Hygena is a maker of kitchen equipment and I think now Kitchens meaning appliances and base units etc. I think they also do handles and taps etc. now too but don't quote me on it.
I heard that Howdens was the trade arm of MFI, but I could be wrong. We use our local Howdens now for anything 600x600 as its cheap as chips and reasonable quality, but their returns procedure is a bit tight.
