    Today, Moby-Dick saw the light

    Moby popped in for coffee.....we had a chat, a laugh and then I stuck him in a couple of cars to see what he liked.

    A nice 2.2 Astra Coupe, Auto ......think he liked that, but its not really Moby....its not....frenzied enough....its too calm, layed back and smooth...

    So ,,,I had no choice....

    I had to put him in our finest, most awe-inspiring vehicle....

    Less than £8500 on the road.......75bhp of gut wrenching, ming bending power....a body shell to die for....body control of a ballet dancer and the single minded determination of a thoroughbred stallion....

    today....Moby saw the light....

    he now knows the Truth.....

    and the truth is what shaped ?

    The Agila was like postman pats van on acid

    I'm trying to persuade my boss to let me have one as a company car - I was suitable impressed

    (yes it did make me grin more than the coupe which just didnt feel like a coupe )
