No joke there either - everyday since Xmas there have been major delays on the trains from the local station here! I could offer lifts in my new car.....as long as they don't want to go further than 30 miles!!!

Exactly.....lol. Even my small train commute is fraught with delays and it's only 2 stops and about 6 minutes (supposedly).

Well it is about 7 seconds quicker to 60 than the smart I used to run so a noticeable improvement I would say!!!

However at still over 10 seconds it is still over double the time of my slowest car to 60 which is the porsche at 4.7!!!
