Because it's fucking gorgeous? I don't know what Liveleak is, so jokes on you.

It means lol when you run over that small child/old lady.
Gorgeous? Its all right angles you mook. Its hideous.
Upgraded my Fiesta this week to a Zetec S TDCi. Only picked it up yesterday but it feels pretty smart.
Insurance wasn't that much more than my old one, which was nice, and tax only £20.
I came out of the cinema last night to the worst fog I've ever experienced. I could barely see anything driving home to the point that I considering parking up and getting the bus home.
I persisted and got home but it was far from safe.
I used my fog lights for the first ever time and they made absolutely no difference.
That Chrysler
My dad has it in estate form, just make sure you don't have black alloys or a black grill on it or you'll look like a twat.
The QE2 has a tighter turning circle.
The estate is weird looking in that they really did just seem to cut an extra bit out and weld it to the saloon.
I quite like it but it does look like a hearse in black.
Are those rare over there?
Yes, that's what I thought. They are hard to miss, that is for sure.
More importantly Obama drove one and this: http://www.complex.com/sports/2011/0.../chrysler-300c
The fog in and about London is obscene. Both the flights I was supposed to get were cancelled so after 7 hours mooching about Heathrow we're now driving the 530 miles through the fog in a rental (2.0 insignia).
Chaos.
I expect they're typically American in being under-powered (even that six litre V8 version seems weak) and reliant on seventies engineering, but I've always liked those Chryslers. Multi will look like a right geezer bowling around in it. Especially if the tinted windows make him look like he's got hair.
Most of the ones around here are Merc diesel engined ones I think. Fairly sluggish but they're like a boat anyway.
I didn't know that. What's the point of having an American car if you can't have the dickhead engine in it?
Mercedes Benz V6 diesel engine. That's all I know. Supposedly reliable and will last for ages (miles).
I'll post up a picture of the actual car when I get it.
Edit: I'm also rocking the proper baldy now, shaving my head against the grain and all. Looking more and more like my avatar by the day.
My Focus sounds completely fucked. It's making a rattling noise at really low revs in gear, and when I'm accelerating it sounds like a dodgem or an electric bus.
No power loss or anything or warning lights and seeing as how it's a company car I really couldn't give a shit, it's due a service in 2k miles so if it breaks down before then oh well.
It's less than 2 years old and only on 51k miles. BUILD QUALITY.
So in other news the NOTE's rear windscreen demister is now fucked. The fuse is fine so one has to assume it's the wiring. Awesome. Looking forward to at least 2 hours labour and parts on that.
Just don't bother fixing that shit.
It's a pretty important function in winter time especially in a car with no air con.
No air con? What sort of poverty car are you on?
It's not crucial in a country where the average temperature for June is 13C...
Mine hasn't worked in about 2 years.
It's no biggie.
I wouldn't give a shit if it was my car, but it isn't my car it's the wife's car.
Someone crashed very lightly into the back of someone I work with. After some to and fro with the guilty bloke's insurance, they sent him £980 to get his bumper replaced, He hasn't bothered because you can't even tell unless shown the scratch, so has got a free G.
I'm a twit
Don't you have to sent back an invoice or something?
Air con is handy for demisting the windscreen even if it's not warm.
So it broke down on the A96 halfway between Huntly and Keith. It was the thrust bearing. New clutch as well. It took 3.5 hours to get the recovery driver and get me to Inverness. He was a nutter, ex-Bouncer from the Midlands, was showing me his stab wounds etc.
There was no hire car arranged or fuck all so I had to take someone else's car home. Office/Ford/Arval were less than useful. I still have it anyway, my car and all my kit/car seat/work shoes etc is still up north.
My power steering broke. Time to work those biceps.
We got a letter in through our door from Volkswagen today. Apparently our Altea has one of those sneaky VW engines. They say "they deeply regret breaking our trust", which I feel should more accurately read "we deeply regret being found out". No word of what's going to happen yet, but they cover all costs apparently.
Demand a full refund.
Thieving German bastards. Such hard workers. So efficient . . .
Lmao. My rear windscreen was 45 quid just for labour to repair two broken wires.
How much for a flat in the Ferry, MJ, babes?
Rent or buy?
Rent, ofc. I can afford it off £1300, I imagine, but i'm just trying to work out how much money after bills I'ma get.
We were £400pcm for a maisonette but that was 5 years ago. Its tough as you've got insurance, tax and all the bills, plus living as well. Good luck.
Its not ideal, but it looks like it may have to be done, you know? Carnoustie is far too limited and expensive it seems. Monifieth, Ferry or somewhere decent in Dundee is where I'm looking at.
We bought in the Glens though they're expensive to rent. Fuck Chuntnoustie.
Yes next t'Gunners.
I was having a look at one there - £450pcm. Looks aite.
