General Car Chat / Re: 1 ltr Ford Focus
« on: 30 December 2013, 13:37:17 »I colleague has one, probably had about a year. Ideal for him, as he's in Milton Keynes, so only does a few miles a day. Around town, quite nippy, but feels strained on motorways (cruises OK, but any demands for more speed are met with nothing but volume increase).
Agreed. When driving I often meet small sized high powered engine cars on the motorway where they get the head lamps flashing to let them run away (possibly the are in hurry) okay guys, go. The only stain in this story that later when running uphill I am the one who must sign them to let me to go.
So my view is the small size highly tuned engine is an illusion what doesn't take long. 
F**ked after 30,000 miles.....and in need of new pistons, valves, and turbo.
Big power from a small engine means that something has to give.

Not yet. I'll see how she goes today, probably something she picked up around the park.
People either carry their little black bags of poo for miles, or sling them into the bushes, or just don't bother to pick it up at all.
I'm surprised a bit to hear that it happens in England as well
Hope your doggy gets better soon.....no food just water for a couple of days and then cooked chicken and rice should be ok
+1
A one day starving per week is recommended for a healthy dog, too! I wouldn't wait so long though as can be some idiots who may try to leave poisoned foods in the park...In Hungary already happened similar to this

« on: 29 December 2013, 07:15:48 »Nice places,
didn't find Stonehenge nor the mysterious giant draws though...
Like cem, your English is coming on leaps and bounds. Might I suggest :
mysterious giant hill figure (with no drawers) like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerne_Abbas_Giant
OR
Bridget Jones (with drawers) http://www.dailystar.co.uk/love-sex/347236/No-sex-please-we-re-Bridgets-Big-Bridget-Jones-pants-embarrass-women-in-the-bedroom
Strange there was no mention of Stonehenge
Erm...
sorry Varche and thank you for the advice.

General Car Chat / Re: Four-door coupe ?
« on: 29 December 2013, 07:07:31 »Coupe refers to the roofline, with iirc a fixed head coupe having a fixed metal roof and a drophead coupe having a cloth or removable roof.
Although most are two door, then can have four.
But originally a coupé is a two door ......
Yep. That's why I consider quite interesting the evolution of car designing as up to the not too far past there weren't too many categories, manufacturers creating new ones day by day though. Nowdays if I saw a car I could not be sure of it was an off-road or a cross-over as at first glimpse the one looks like the other. As well as a four-door coupe and a saloon and it could be continued.

« on: 28 December 2013, 07:01:52 »No this one
Although it's a P5, it's 'only' a saloon ...... not a coupé
So it's a coupé because she has a parallelogram quarter light... hm...is it new generation of car identifying?

« on: 27 December 2013, 16:59:51 »Peugeot 408 GT , I'm feeling a bit puzzled as the main speciality of all the coupes is the two-doors form... GT got four doors, is it still coupe though...

You're right of course .... a coupé is a two door car, but obviously those that name cars don't know that. One of the more notable 'coupés' of the past was the Rover P5 Coupé ..... which was also a 4 door
