It's that long beep when you put it in drive that makes your heart sink and the turtle poke its head out.

Just under two months.A leaky gearbox,whiney alternator,and a wayward aerial that gouged a nice pattern in my roof have not dampened my desire for this slightly overweight,but absolutely filthy,loud,tart of a car.SHE is a keeper.Though the live-in cleaner wants a C6 to keep her company now.......they have a certain effect on you don't they?!
