What should I pay for qa 2ltr manual exclusive?

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

No no no no no! the stress of hearing the engine going up to 3000 rpm would be more tiring than changing gear :o

? you dont have to drive around everywhere with your foot welded into the carpet Peter! boy racer's eh :roll: :lol:
being in a manual car has brought back to me how nice they are for having a good thrash about in, but then for the other 80% of the time sat in traffic, stop start crawling and driving around town i find myself looking at the pointless little stick sat there between the seats and after 20 minutes stop start im getting clutch leg and thinking why! what i need is one of each i think thats the way forward just not the one ive got thats all.

I don't do that much Dean, we live in the country and apart from the very occaisional trip to the IOW ;) we don't do towns or over 70 mph, in fact rarely over 60 :? I did do a bit of boy racing in my youth, ran six cylinder Vauxhalls for years, and was rather heavy on front wings for a spell ', but that's all changed, I now agravate people by travelling at 30 mph in 30 mph limit.
