You wear socks and shoes when around the house or out shopping? Typically British, old chap.
That's when I am not being carried in a litter by weeping widows... N. |

That's a hard one to recover from. You'd be best to crash it and kill everyone on board that let word of that escape.
That's even worse than wearing white socks and brown sandals...only just though. N. |
Re: Making yourself look stupid...........
Just to add my tale of vehicular stupidity..
I had a diesel swb pajero and one day driving along I noticed that when I was going uphill or hitting some bumps in the road an orange warning light was coming on on the dashboard. I hadn't seen it before but it looked like an oil light, I was thinking transmission oil as I had checked the engine oil etc. and I was sure it was coming on when the transmission was working hard. I drove to the garage gingerly thinking the gearbox was about to explode at any time , only for the mechanic to take one look at the light then top up the window washer fluid... |

:D It's a hire car. And shockingly, it's the best I've driven over here longterm. The cars I've driven here are shocking. A Sunny, Yaris, Lancer, and now the 207. Out of all of them, the 207 is miles ahead.
The only car I've hired here that was better than the 207 was the Pajero. But that was only for a day. Bump walls to stop in spaces, rag it using the three auto gears like a manual, never clean it, chuck it around all over the place. Was awesome. |

What did you end up buying in the end again?
Cheaper than my hired Lancer. |
Re: Making yourself look stupid...........
When I hadn't been living here very long, I rang my husband from the MOE car park to tell him that my car was leaking petrol or oil and could he come and get me/sort it out. I was panicking with 2 kids stood away from the car, looking out for people throwing lit cigarettes, convinced it was going up in smoke in no time.
I decided to inspect again, and then realised it was water on the floor not oil or petrol. Rang husband back who called me few names as it was caused by the a/c. Another time, I had parked at Safa Park and returned to my car, struggled for an age to get my keys in the door for some time, before realising it wasn't my car. Tried to walk off in a cool manner, but unfortunately had an audience, and died a death as I walked along about 3 cars and got into my car. In fairness, it was a black car and it was dark! |
