No. There is no such thing as a decent ford. My £400 astra diesel was great. It was rubbish but great at the same time. Shame the engine blew up in it. If it wasn't for the rust, the hand brake giving up on me and the twisted rear axle I would have swapped in yet another engine.

 

I was toying around with the idea of dropping in a Saab TTID engine into it on an FM57 box. Hmmm... 187 bhp diesel mk3 astra.

 

The golf I drove on sunday was really nice to drive. Unfortunately the sale seamed a bit dodgy.

was everything in the past black and white? and when did they add colour? Also how did they decide what colour to make things? Was there a team of people that decided grass should be green and the sky blue?

Not quite sure whether I should be offended or flattered by that comment.

 

Best bit of graffiti I saw was in a gents toilet in Birmingham and someone had painted above the row of urinals

 

"Wall Mounted Bidets"

 

Gross but also kind of funny at the same time.

 

Why does my mum never have any birthday wrapping paper but has loads of christmas paper ready? Why not buy neutral patterns/colours so it can be  used for either like my dad and I do or is this just male thinking? (guess what I got asked for this evening)

Ahhhh, but how can we actually be sure that we all see the same colour anyway? I mean, we all know that the sky is blue and that the sea is blue etc, we know this because in early childhood someone pointed out the colour blue, to be blue. But who is to say that what we are all actually seeing the same colour when we all see something we know to be blue? Who is to say that when you see something blue, that your not actually seeing what I see when I see something pink??

More importantly, if a man stands in a forest in the middle of the night and a tree falls down, but there is no woman around to hear it fall, is he still wrong?

No, we don't.

 

Tests have shown that colour is just mental association. Some african tribes describe the sky as black and the sea as white. They can distinguish between shades of blue with only a tiny difference where as European people can't. In a similar test where to us there is an obvious green square amongst a set of blue ones they can't tell the difference as they classify the blue and the green in the same set of colours.

 

Horizon did a program on it and it was quite interesting.

 

AVV IT. No man is right but to shut her up quicker its easier to admit liability and just move on.

Can a mini go through a car wash? Would the washer rollers and things be able to reach down far enough?

Learn from my mistakes, dont do it unless you enjoy a thrill :L it felt like I was in a slightly damp bomb shelter and a wing mirror fell off!

Oh my! I don't think I will risk car wash bingo! 

[Spud_133]

I really detest washing my car, but even I wouldn't risk one of them

[M J W J]

A car wash will leave it covered in loads of small scratches and water marks. Don't do it.
