Be Excellent To Each Other

My ex has got one. That automatically makes it a car for knobs.

Just spat coffee out.

Perfect for me, then.

Why buy German when you could by English?

Do you wish we'd lost the war? DO YOU?!

Fucking Hitler lover.

Buy my Jag.

You selling a Jag, Grim...?

For some reason, MrsA has never told me there is a green lane pretty much from her parents doorstep to a pub at the top of the hill. This is fucking excellent news, but less so for those that own the farm at the bottom of it.

Sorry to hear that.

Happens that I am!

Did all the Pumas get offloaded?

My wife was given one as a courtesy car for a day. I teased her mercilessly. She hated it. Some of the colours available (like 'jeans' and 'tonic') are also dreadful.

Team Trooper got rid of their one. The rest of us have still got ours.

Does it have room in back for 2 child seats?

The Jag? Christ yes. The Puma? Technically yes, but it's small two-door so it would be a bugger to get them in and out.

No Jag, ta. No Puma, ta. No Mountain Lion, ta.

Soz.

Ford Galaxy or Citron Picasso, then.

Don't forget the Zafira!

That's not as good.

Not a fan of Citroens. That centre mounted digital speedo gives me hives.

Ford C-Max innit - can get them nicely kitted out too.

I loved mine, wish I'd kept it TBH. Still see it driving around the place. The new owner is a MILF.

"Do you come with the car?"

Love my Mk1 Seat Leon TDi 110 still.

Enjoyable enough to drive on my own and still practical for a family of 4.

It'll be at least another 5 weeks before I can drive it myself again though

New Alfa a-comin'.



Ho shit, boyyee.

It looks decent, but isn't really stirring the soul for me. The quick one sounds amazing though. 0-60 in under 4 seconds in a family car!

That looks fucking incredible.

At least, it does until you put a UK number plate on the front of it.

At which point - like most Alfas - it looks gash.

And then it breaks down.

Might be time to eat my words. Citroën Picasso 04 plate available for £300. Hmmmm

There's probably a reason for that

Brother in law's mate is a boat builder. A client gave it to him as part payment. Going to have a look tomorrow. Needs an MOT apparently. Fingers crossed.

Got to change disks and pads on Big Car sometime this week. Does it never end?

We have a Zafira and it's great for us and two kids. Plenty of space and it feels really safe.

Lapping the ring, aye?

*smirk*

Oh, that's six pages back...

Good work, Sat.

Saw the Picasso today. Looks in good nick. Couldn't start it up as the guy with the keys has gone to Glastonbury.

*alarm bells*

Why?

"Couldn't start it up as it needs all its fluids doing right before you do as it shits them all onto the floor overnight".

Or, if you're not as suspicious as me, at the very least it only has one set of keys, and that's piss annoying.

Yeah. I think there are 2 sets. That he has both of

He's taken them to Glastonbury or they're locked in his house while he's away?

The second one

Avoid any Blue period stuff, you want Cubism at least.

£57 for discs and pads. £57!

I can't tell if you're exclaiming because they're cheap, or because they're expensive.

I'm assuming the former, as I basically cried into my cornflakes thinking back to how much discs and pads cost me for the M5 when I had it.

I am just having a grumble about it as I have to change them and I seem to have spent a fortune on cars of late.

Heh I was thinking the same

Discs and pads all round for the Scooby, about £800, and that was without labour

Car's in the garage today, MrsZ said its been making clunky noises turning right (not driven it myself for two weeks) sounds like it's just a spring, let's see...

Does your heart attack affect your license or insurance at all, Z?

When you apply for insurance, they ask if The DVLA know about any medical conditions. I'm not sure if you need to declare it for insurance, as long as the DVLA know.

I've just read that and it make no sense.

No, was told by Dr when I had my heart attack to not drive for 4 weeks and to tell my insurance company. They just said that's fine and there's no need to contact them again just resume driving after the 4 weeks. Got a 6 week period of no driving after my op but that's to give my sternum time to heal back together have to see Dr and he'll tell me if he's happy for me to drive again.

Show us the scar, Z!
