Although I usually detest modern re-workings of Shakespeare, I caught a great version of Much Ado About Nothing on Aunty last night. Apparently, there's 3 more to come (the Taming of the Shrew next week). Well worth it if you like a good yarn, well acted.
Last night's title is also a good description of what's been going on in this forum today.

This whole thread is a crackup ... I haven't watched Much Ado About Nothing because I'm hardly ever home at that time ... would you recommend it though?

Mind you, the cast changes for each production, so I can't speak for the next three yet.

Well it finally happened. I've heard about problems with breaking the lid on the centre console, and have always been very careful to avoid that. Put the car in for it's 20k service yesterday, and it came back with a floppy lid! Not impressed Jan.

I'm careful with it too. Don't lean on it and don't permit my passengers to lean on it. It's a very flimsy design though.

Anybody else copping that? I'm getting it about 3-4 times a day.

Where did it break though? Is it the sliding bit?

Mods, is there a fix in the works for this recurring problem? It's happening reasonably regularly these days (at least to me).

Do a "shft+ins/ctrl+c" on your posts before you post them Justin Case

Hey there all.....been in sunny QLD for a week or so.....did ya miss me?
We went all over the place and managed to make our little hire Hyundai Getz literally fly in a couple of places...not to mention find the revv limiter in 1st 2nd and 3rd and it wasn't even red!

Glad to hear your hire car was used as it deserved. Nothing's faster in my experience.

Thanks for that We also got to drive a $90k Alfa Brera...so sexy on the road but didn't get out of 2nd gear around the city!!! Geared so tall....not a punchy engine at all.....chasis is nicer than the 8 though I am sad to say....hit the limiter in this one and wasn't even trying...god knows what the top speed is!!!
Looks like it's been busy on here....great to see.....

Strictly for Alfa tragics only IMHO.
The TT and the Cayman shared top honours for different reasons. Not a bad read - most of it made sense from my understanding of what these cars can do.
