What a moot point. We're not joking when we say "the grass is always greener on the other side".

Going to drive my over aged diesel Renault Clio for the last time in a couple of minutes.
Time to switch to petrol hybrid (the new Toyota Auris).

I had already tried it before ordering, in March.
I've driven 50 km or so, so that's hardly significant, but well...
I can hardly compare it to my former Clio, which was 14 years old. It's more powerful, has a lesser consumption, brakes better, and anything you could think of in terms of driving experience.
What's going to be more complex is the parking stuff. It's quite bigger, and I'm not sure I'll be able to park it in my basement.
Also, It's the first automatic I've had. it's a bit weird not to unclutch when you stop, or to not use the left foot at all (unless I start braking with it, karting style).
As there's no gear level and no real gearbox, sometimes the internal computer that drives the "gearbox" (a variator actually) doesn't seem to know which gear to use, so the petrol engine becomes very noisy as it's getting a lot of RPM. It feels like you lose half of the gas you've saved every time this happens.

Aaand,i was talking about Clio, very sorry for non-mentioning that,your post was long (again,sorry).
He is getting this one (of course,not exactly this,but that "version" of car.)
The one he gets is from 2007.
Played PCM10 today again,it's great feeling to play with guys such as Kirchen,Ivanov, and that great feeling on mountains,where you can actually attack. Going to play it more than PCM12 until PCM13 comes out,so i would be more satisfied with "new" features.

Say whaaat?
Seriously, I've played PCM09, 10, 11 and 12, and PCM10 is the only one where attacking is completely useless (in fact sometimes it made me lose position in the group - yeah, going backwards). In the others attacking might burn you off, but at least you go on a higher speed than you were. And also the hills, sprints and cobbles sucked (oh wait - that's everything else ).
Of course that's my opinion.

Norway beat the shit out of England in the U-21 Euro today, and one Norwegian fan was so pleased with her team that she started..... knitting, of all things.

Well, Twas but a very beatiful day here in Ireland today, so I called it a day at the trinity cllege student bar, meaning I had some bruskis with a friend on our cricket pitch! Best.Decision.Ever... Eventhough I got sunburned (yes, I got burned in Ireland (!)) today. Then again, the initial sunburn occured during training this morning... As soon as this turns into tan, I am gonna have a nice little farmers tan! Oh bless...

As someone who is mostly Irish and partly German who lives in a desert, we don't tan very well. You might get a permanent burn.

I am half German-Half Luxemburgian and only live and study in ireland... being of white ethnicity, I do have what is considered a slightly darker skin tone (its definetly darker than the real of 90% of the irish population), so I think I should be grand in regard to easy burning. Its only a slight burn, but its the second time in 2 years that i got a sunburn in ireland. Who thought it was possible to get burned here at all, let alone twice?

Is there a reason for the Members List being there...I always browse through there when I'm bored. f.e. a lot of cunego fans.

Don't know why,but man,whenever i hear "PSY - Gentleman" somewhere on street or in club,the start of that song always,always reminds me of Alakagom's nick,so i'm actually starting to sing it in that way.
Check out it,and tell me if i'm retarded or just weird.

I never said it is great. It is really bad,but just noticed how overplayed it is worldwide and funny fact about Alakagom's nick.
