Pmsl.......someone had to say it!!!!

We use ours quite often for bottles, never used it for a bin though. That may change with the arrival of the little one. ;)

I had 2 cans of dark anthracite in my hand and the wife said "what's that for?" "the wheels" I said, "don't bother" she said, "I quite like them now" besides, they still annoy a lot of people so I may well keep them like that... or not...?

Post 514956 by V70 Graham on 2012-06-21 12:17:38

Well personally I couldn't see myself sitting on either of these.....:rotfl: it's deffo the same colour though, Dickinson even askes for Atacama when he get's his tan done ! Image Image

[quote=V70 Graham;514959].....or am I just jealous :P[/quote] You said it mate! Look at the latest 911 Turbo interior, trust me, Atacama is sexy and there are no pipes or slippers in my car.

Post 514972 by M-R-P on 2012-06-21 12:39:09

It's nice, just too "rich" in colour. I like mine (plus I have more pockets in the backs of my seats) Image

[quote=martinrpeachey;514972]It's nice, just too "rich" in colour. I like mine (plus I have more pockets in the backs of my seats) Image[/quote] Yeah, but I've got more buttons on my dash.:P

Post 514979 by M-R-P on 2012-06-21 12:47:21

That'll be the three near the hazard button... Expensive to repair REALLY expensive to repair Scrap it :D

Post 514981 by stribo on 2012-06-21 12:53:27

There's extra heater buttons rather than your cheapy rotary dials, oh and there's an extra gear in the gearbox too. :D Image Not our car, but you get the idea.

Post 514984 by stribo on 2012-06-21 12:59:04

If one of mine goes crunch, I have 5 left, if one of yours goes crunch, your back to the 70's, driving a 4 speed car. :lol:

Post 514985 by M-R-P on 2012-06-21 13:05:42

Aaah but mine does 146 in 4th :)

Post 514986 by stribo on 2012-06-21 13:07:40

yeah, but your's won't do much more than 146, and mine does the 1/4 in 14.43 seconds. :)

Post 514987 by M-R-P on 2012-06-21 13:10:52

Who wants to tell Mr. Stribo what the M56LK gearbox will do in 5th? Ya might get up the quarter quicker let's see how ya do on the mile ;)

Post 514989 by stribo on 2012-06-21 13:13:08

The gearbox will do 190mph, unfortunately as you're a bit short on horses, the car won't.:wallbash::wallbash::doh:

Post 514990 by M-R-P on 2012-06-21 13:16:19

LOL You realise we've ruined another perfectly good thread with our arseing about pmsl. I can't even give you stick about having a heavier car - I have a reinforced chassis - probably weighs more than yours rofl. Remap soon ;) (well, November)

Post 514991 by stribo on 2012-06-21 13:20:46

Yeah, think we may have drifted a bit off topic :smileypul Your seats look really good Shane, if not orange enough. Think I've managed to get it back without anyone noticing. :hidesbehi

Post 514992 by M-R-P on 2012-06-21 13:21:50

[quote=stribo;514981] Image [/quote] This dash is identical to mine as is the interior. I too have extra deep pockets in the rear of the seats and small ones at the front. Comms pack and RTI fill in the gaps nicely. Image

The interior in my sig is ours, aqlthough the wheel's not straight in that either. Going back to the seat pockets, perhaps the V70s had 2 per seat and the S60s only had 1.

Post 515167 by M-R-P on 2012-06-21 21:27:50

yeah, I'd ditch the comms pack for the sake of the cup holder too lol. how does having a big boot mean you get an extra seat pocket? handy tho, you can carry loads of wine in them.

I used one in my car and the leather is as it was before using. Don't use it now thou.
