- A gallon drum of screenwash because my screenwash reservoir has a leak and I have to top it up every few hours on long journeys.
 - A large bottle of oil because my cars eats it like it is petrol.
 - A large bottle of water, for two reasons.  One, to dilute concentrated screenwash if needed. Two, just in case it overheats.  I have had the car 6 months and it hasn't yet, but with everything else on it going wrong, i expect it will do soon.
 - The lock assembly for the boot, because it keeps falling out.
 - Bits of the rear wiper, which gave up a while back and I cannot seem to get around to fixing.
 - Part of the passenger door lining which fell off.

And, because my current car is a Punto, the boot is just about full.

I wish it would do the decent thing and stop working altogether.......

......damned thing even passed its MOT a few weeks ago. That was going to be my exucse for buying an Omega.  Now I need another one.

Well if you drive a Fiat, you expect these challenges.... ;D

Oh and stop replacing the oil. That will get it to stop working soon enough! ;)


Or top up the oil with the water and pretend its your HG ;)

Watch out for the tramp who lives under the bridge on the road in to slough from the marriot hotel to centre.

You will know who I mean if you see him, usual tramp dirty mac, with an autotrader in the pocket.

Havent been for a few years, but whenever I (or anyone else from work) went, there he was!

probably dead by now though.

No help on the B & B's though, always stayed in the above hotel on expenses :)

Ok, we have established lots of us want them, but dont want to pay.

Number 1 is not dangerous at all.
The only dangerous thing there is driving TOO CLOSE in the first place.
If you have left sufficient stopping distance this cannot happen.

Pressure varies with both altitude and temperature.

IIFC that is why they fill tyres with nitrogen in some (hot) countries

110 mile round trip, think you would need to fill a few jerry cans each time to make it worthwhile.

I had a decent pension, until I was screwed and TUPEd out to some tinpot yankee firm >:(


Don't talk to me about Tupe
Company A Tuped me to IBM,
Company A merged with company B
Company AB didn't like Outsourcing...
So Tupe'd us back in again!
Despite being told me were going into a better pension scheme each time, We all still lost a considerable amount of pensionable service, am still on Final Salary though :)

Ive had the same desk for 11 years, but worked for 5 companies!

I'm another with both, and prefer the prefacelift.
IMO the Pre MV6 was the nicest ever interior available.

Another plus, is the ability to have aftermarket audio and it not look 'bolted on' with a dodgy adaptor.
