haha, it's M reg and 68,000 miles, had the stereo done over too, got a new one now though and ditto with the cleaning

Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, April 4, 2006, 18:49:27
you managed to total a fucking pug, you're going to kill yourself with that golf.

my clio is m reg and has 130,000 miles on the clock
some horrible scratches due to other people not being able to park or walk past my car properly (though one is my fault)
the roof leaks
the rear windscreen wiper doesn't work
heater is broke and only blows cold air
right-hand speaker is dead, left one has nearly blown
no ashtray
petrol gauge doesn't work properly (i've driven home on no petrol before)

and it's shit

She struggles with bikes, so i shouldn't worry...

Post by: Sade on Wednesday, April 5, 2006, 14:31:16
:D Oi.  I havent fell of my bike since last week, I'll have you know. My mum seems to have told all her friends at work about my past troubles. All I hear is 'Fell off your bike recently sadie?'  :x

R4E I will kick your ass.  8) I already know how to put the keys in the ignition and I kind of understand gear change.

I don't think its fair that they keep changing the theory and adding more stuff to it like you have to know how the engine works now. Great thats me fucked then.

The problem will come when you have to learn how to 'go' and 'stop' I'm sure.

I had a bet going with my mate about who would pass first. He started lessons a couple of months before me but I passed 3 and a half years ago and he's still not passed now after 3 or 4 attempts so I think I won that one.


Title: my dads new company car today
Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, April 5, 2006, 16:00:49
Was it for £100?

Its really low mate. Think its 6. Ideally want a Golf R32 but to be honest I don't need a car as I have the van. I don't use my car apart from going to away games.

He's kind of given up until the summer, last test was a year ago think he had 4 majors.

This bet wasn't as much as £100.
