Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

You and Novo are coming out here in the Hyundai? Do me a favour and park around the corner please.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

:rofl:
The gay dog would fit in the trunk of that too.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

The gay dog, for which I have just purchased a very expensive tag (they wouldn't take peeking between his legs as proof of neutering), is quite fine in the back of the pastel Beetle, thank you very much. I didn't embarass him by putting him in the van.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

I can exclusively reveal pictures of Novo's new 'pimped' Elantra:

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Please to be parking that around several corners.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

I'll bring mine next time we have a pint. Can you manage a stickshift?

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

:)

Plain silver I'm ashamed to admit.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

The Land Cruiser had two. Two at once gave me trouble.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

And I thought you'd learned that lesson.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

It has been decided - off to pick up my Subaru Forrester later :)

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

That's good then! Hope you really like it...

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

I hope you will be very happy together:D

Im off to pick up my commision again:sneaky:

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

I have my name and deposit down for one of these:

...stands back and waits for mocking to start....

(I will probably still decide I am too cheap to buy a new car though)

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Super cute, I love cars that are cute enough to give a name too and would still be fun to drive:thumbsup:

We've not long ago bought one of these - not quite in that good of condition but it will be - I think it's really cute, I love having something a little different - makes it easier to find it in the car parks for a start:rofl:

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Are you hoping it'll be in by Pride Week? ;)

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Hmmm....I did choose the grey one, which I thought gave it a certain masculinity. Guess I was wrong though :(

Piff Poff, calling it cute is not helping....

Should have bought the bloody Elantra...

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

My 21 year-old niece has one, it's a fantastic wee car.

(For a 21 year old girl.)

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

If it is, and you are here for it we can go for a cruise. I'll get dbd to lend us the dog.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

I rather doubt he'd fit. Unless you have a sunroof.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

I thought that looked familiar. Noddy and Big Ears would like their car back, thank you.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

I would point out that at least it does not have a vase in the dashboard..

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Well, I think you're all being very unkind to that nice Mr. Martin.

<sniggers>

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

<snort>

As if you wouldn't be pointing and laughing should you see the vehicle in person.

I just hope that he gets a pointy blue hat as part of the deal.

It's all that Rob Ford's fault.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

He should have abolished the vehicle reg tax by the time it arrives :) Won't hear a word said against him. (Actually I am considering whether to insist on paying the tax anyway if it is abolished).

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

At least the Fiat 500 has some character whereas the Elantra Touring is the automotive version of processed cheese.;)

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

My mum used to have a Fiat 126, which was the "modern" version of the original Fiat 500. Like this, but in navy blue. You started it with 2 small levers behind the handbrake.

We managed to fit our family of 7 in it.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

That is commendable. Perhaps you should take Rob out for a pint with the tax money?

FWIW, my father refers to Fiats as "a fate worse than death".

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

My nan had a Fiat Panda which she'd get 7 or 8 kids in and take us to the Notting Hill Carnival until she got done for groping a copper. :blink:

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Without wanting to press the point too hard, have you driven one?

After a month or so, I'm still happy with my choice. If I have a criticism it would be that the baggage area is very flat and covered by fabric with an extremely short nap. This means that the daily 2-4 slides around too much during cornering and braking.

I'm driving it with a joie de vivre which is almost frightening. <The car not the 2-4>.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

No, narcolepsy sets in as soon as I see one. ;)

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Function, not form, innit?

I mean you're not hot looking, but apparently capable of performing. Except when narcoleptic.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Meow. That's him told.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

I'll cope. By the way, wanna borrow $7Bn? Reasonable rates!

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Certainly will, thanks. Pride comes before a fall and all that.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Can you provide appropriate security and guarantees?

I rather suspect UK is only in marginally better shape than Ireland. Glad I live in Canada.;)

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Oh, I'd assumed the $7bn was the funds required to keep a Fiat running in Canada for a year.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Nope!

People forget/are unaware of how poor the Republic was before all this EU banking, lending madness.

To me, nothing feels permanent in Canada, the hire and fire culture is just...different. I have friends back home who have been on redundancy notice for over 2 years. The organization has shuffled them from department to department, moved some to other parts of the UK, even helped to get them jobs with competitors, anything to avoid laying them off.

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Has she ever thought of a job with TSA?

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Woah snowy here in Van - just took the scooby out - steep hill down to Broadway - did a fab 360 missed all the parked cars and 2 metal posts and stopped short of 6 lanes of traffic!!!

Snow tires are being fitted tomorrow - phew!

Re: gaaaaaah -which Car
 

Going to do the snow tires thing with my new car - Nissan Altima, which kindly ran all day yesterday by itself while I was at work. I'm glad I got back to it at 6, just before it ran out of gas.

I do love keyless ignition though. I can forget where keys are in my bag now, rather than in the house. Of course this predicates me being able to turn the car off when I leave it in the morning....
