Well I need help.

We've had it a week now.

I have had the bonnet open, been under it, even checked in the boot....

Where the heck are the OTHER four cylinders?

Anyone?
:-))

ROFL.

It really is good.

Once you get the hang of it you can really get it going.

Wife now gets the shits with me if I don't let the boost kick in hard.  Whilst I like it I tend to lean into it rather than jump.

Not sure what she'll do when I finally let her drive it.

My wife reckons it hurts her neck sometimes when I give my CRDi a bit of stick :-)

Can't help bad luck L.O.L.

And if its hurting her neck, I am surprised you have enough "leg" room to even drive an i30 !!!!

Ouch, my side hurts from laughing !
