What's made you not grumpy but not smile either today?

What's made you not grumpy but not smile either today?

Well if you take the car back "several weeks later" you can't expect them not to want to do a full MOT

That wasn't the issue. They charged the previous owner £450 for parts and labor knowing the car would fail due to rust hoping she would pay the £600 they quoted to do the welding.

She went out, bought a brand new Panda and sold the Fizz to me. :)

All done and re-booked for tomorrow afternoon.

Now this car has no sunroof. Good for a motor sport application. With 103,000 miles on the clock, forty something "Fizz" models on the road and even though the car is one owner from new with every M.O.T and service done at the same garage I wouldn't feel too guilty about the ubiquitous Punto 75 conversion or more. Good news. :D

On the road the lack of sunroof means I'll have to come up with a different way of dealing with tailgaters. :(

A few hazard light flashes and hand signal to politely suggest they back off followed by a few squirts of "Liquid Ass" from the open sunroof if they fail to do so. :devil:

Don't work in Lincolnshire as it smells like that most of the time anyway.
 
I'm back in a Panda and I had forgotten how bad the Womlings Effect was. My journey into town was a gauntlet of people pulling out of junctions, ignoring me in contraflow lanes and blasting their horns because I had right of way and was sticking to it, being tailgated, cut up at roundabouts and the general confusion when people can not tell the difference between a small car and one that's far away. :bang:

Despite my happy little car I wasn't in the best of moods when I got to the town centre and the icing on the cake was two arses taking up three spaces in the half hour spots round the back of Blackfriars Street.

But then I remembered I was in a small Italian car...

...so two arses and dick in three spaces. And I still had enough room to open my tailgate. :slayer:

I miss my old Fiat shed if anyone parked that close standard procedure was to reverse back until I felt the bumpers give reverse some more then pull out. Entirely aware it was a dick move, however at the time didn't give a damn.

I'd parked in that spot not the other way round. ;)

It's funny how whenever you pull out of a space someone usually waits to take it. Not today. :D
 
i made no such comparison as normal people have pointed out.


Go have a look, you did make that comment it's there for all to see I'm black and white oh and nothing of the sort happened, no one jumped to your defence, who would want to associate them self with that comment.

i have looked you said you wasn't going to discus it any more remember, and what are you doing? you are still banging on about it trying to win a new argument by bring up an old argument that you lost:rolleyes:

wth dave, seriously
Granted, it was a horrific choice of comparison, but the point is very valid. A better comparison is this: a lot of people in this country smoke, that doesn't mean it's a good thing to do.
"the point is very valid" and that point is that you boy are a troll and idiot and a fool, you say one thing but do another.
