Aye it seems very unlikely for it to break "naturally" after this amount of time.
Hell mines on its third gearbox so its been messed around with a lot more than yours and mine still looks like brand new.

a bit of korn :slayer:
i think if i put all of what ive got around the house a bit ott and pointless, round 6, 6x9s a 4 10cm's and a 400watt sub + amp
but i think i would get a few funny looks with driving a panda with all that in
i went to get in my car and realised when i was at work last night some little **** has stolen one of my valve caps that i bought last week. Thats what made me grumpy today:bang: so im going to buy anti theft spinning ones

Greenpeace. Do they not realise that some of us need BP Ultimate fuel. Bloody hippies! When are they going to stop emitting carcinogenic cannabis smoke I ask you?
Clients refusing to deal with me because im so young. I just dont understand why they want to brief my boss when he has nothing to do with the projects. I manage and complete them from start to finish.
almost decided head gasket has gone
Having to vote in the election soon. I don't want either of the major parties in power, one will continue to destroy our economy and put more resources into stopping porn than funding hospitals, and the other will bring back ridiculous work place laws under the guidance of an ignorant prick...
I know your pain. I happen to live in the safest seat in the country, and so we aren't going to get anything from either major party, because they both see it as wasting their time. So yet again, I'm voting to make the seat more marginal...
Yeah well it's pretty much guaranteed our seat won't change ownership - the solution of course is to vote for the greens... But as much as I'd like to vote for the greens that's dangerous because the other parties are so unpopular they are probably going to come close to winning like they have in the past. I don't disagree with their view for the world but if they win they'll throw the whole countries resources at these problems which will just lead us into more debt without solving much. They'd need to present a more balanced set of policies for me to risk them winning the election because as it is they'll create more economic problems than the environmental ones they'll fail at solving.

Cleaned the inside of the car but.........
It still needs a hoover... did it with dustpan and brush as carpets were about 1/4 inch deep in grit and leaves carpet and seats also need a good clean with a shampooer thinggie.
All plastics and dash 100% sparkly but used an old cloth which has left about 3 tons of lint behind :bang:
Never ever ever ever having another car with beige interior ever.
When I delivered the gearbox to Fraz the other day a rather large amount of gearbox oil poured out (which is odd as I was pretty sure I'd drained it ) into the boot of the car, it's soaked right through the boot carpet. I've scrubbed soap into it with a brush and washed it with boiling water (in the bath :devil: hope the GF doesn't find out ), it's loverly and clean looking but still has a sheen of oil given up and put some spare underlay over it to stop all my stuff getting covered in oil.

I do feel I ought to apologise for that
Gearbox oil does have a very distinct smell, I've noticed

I reserved a Mazda 3 and then I got bad news from the dealer. Now I'll have to go take my money back tomorrow and cancel my order.

Crap day at work...managers don't seem to understand that I'm not able to leave the petrol station when its just two of us. Want me to do the stock rec book but due to use legally having to have two people in the station at all times, can't go and print the paperwork off from the main store.
Sooner I get out of the bloody place the better.

None in mine at all, either it didn't roll around or it all came out in your car
We stopped at KFC on the way back up and I put the coke in the passenger footwell so as to keep my driving nice and smooth (and also 'cos the Punto has an annoying lack of cupholders!)
Damn thing still fell over as we were rounding the last corner before getting home though :bang:
