    the best selling Alfa in Holland is the Giulietta DIESEL... does that one do science and maths?

    I guess it does about the same science and maths that have made Audi the best selling premium brand in Europe in Q1.

    henk, this is not a (fully) serious argument, and Ferrer is right anyways.

    what is right? is that what YOU think?

    and yes, this is a serious argument. I don't like people making subjective statements and considering them to be the gospel truth. Ferrer does not differ very much from the Spanish Inquisition...

    It is not serious. This is the internet. Semi-sarcasm cannot translate as easy in in pixels as it does, but I looked closely at the pixels of Ferrer's posts and I knew that he was at least partly being tongue-in-cheek.

    Is editing posts actually the photoshop equivalent in the internet?

    46,4mpg (5,07l/100km; 19,73km/l) into work today. At that point she was sitting pretty well at 42,5mpg (5,53l/100km; 18,06km/l) for the tank so far. Had some short errands during lunch break, though, which brought it down, tank avg. is 42,3mpg (5,56l/100km; 17,98km/l).
