General Panda thoughts
It's...
- what the homewardette christened The Panda Formerly Known As Godiva; and
- causing utter confusion.
PS: See this post....
I'm sure you had your reasons but Godiva?
Unless it was a contraction of Go Diva?
'something to do with Lady Godiva?
You've probably posted reasons before and I've forgot.
Pippin is much more panda friendly
Yeah! The car had spent most of its 23 years based in and around Coventry; and, to me, at the time, it seemed apposite (and a tad unusual).
Pippin is much more panda friendly
Agreed! And, with retrospect, I should have stuck to my policy of christening the cars with names beginning with 'P'; I should also have not named her (who is now a 'him'...) at all, until the homewardette had seen her/him....
"Pippin" came about for the reasons in this post, by the way....

I can't be the only one,
put my right hand on the left side of the steering wheel so it gets the heater for a while
How do you keep your side windows clear? Can't look left at roundabouts. Without wiping the window with my sleeve.

Welcome to old car ownership:wave:

Although the air vents in the corners of the windscreen only blow cold air they do help.
Flying helmet and gloves, and keep the window open
Wear microfibre mittens - warm hands and defogging built in.
I've always -- usually to the discomfort of any passengers -- liked driving with fresh air on my face! Takes me back to the days of driving 1960s Beetles: pumping warm air (providing the heat exchangers worked, of course) on one part of me, whilst simultaneously freezing another! :nutter:
The driver's side air vent on Pippin will remain firmly open whilst I'm driving...!

Have to wiggle petrol cap like a madman to get it out. Am I doing it wrong?
Or is it just part of the act, makes you look even more crazy than you already are.

That is one super sad looking Panda
Unlock, turn, hissy noise, pulls out about 5mm, have to wiggle it to get it to actually come out, once its out it goes back in no problem.Unlock, turn, hissy noise then lifts off, easy - what are you doing?
Appearing in someone's signature, sometime soon...? :devil:
