    I wouldn't go because, as a very wise man said back in the 1970's. Using my best Liverpool accent, "dey bombed our chippy"

    I’ve always associated BMW with being the poor man’s Merc

    So I’ll roll with HW being the Merc and maybe Diana being the beemer

    I'll be there with my Mondeos and proud of it.
    The more I think I know, the more I realise the less I know.

    Used to have a 2.7 XJ old shape ( nice ) until some blind SOB crashed full pelt into us on the M6 after another SOB created a brake pulse that stopped us in lane 3.
    We are alive now because of her.
    Your assumption is right.

    A Jaguar (only police, bank robbers and Jeremy Clarkson call them Jags) are more like ISP
    Air Arms would be Vauxhall

    I always think of the AA S400 as the Mondeo of the airgun world, a car / gun that does its job as good as anything for a reasonable price. Having said that they have gone up a lot recently......

    I've always liked Mondeos. I like most Fords, really, although I'm well out of touch with the modern stuff now. I like Fiats, too. And Alfas & Lancias. And always liked & respected Jaguars.

    Although I'm not really convinced that car analogies are viable, what would be the airgun equivalent of the Austin Allegro?
