The term "snake oil salesman" refers to a person that is pushing a product that is deemed to be overhyped at best, and fraudulent at worst. 

Excellent 

Brendan Rogers personnified 

I don't know about overhyped, but they are certainly over Everton. 

 From what I hear he spends plenty of time over a local drag queen

Don't knock what you haven't tried.

P/Exd SWMBO's Jazz for a pre-reg same with only 35 miles, £4k under list and got what we wanted for hers, plus warranty, plus 5 year service plan (inc. oil filters etc.) and floor mats BUT no spare wheel! They only fit aerosol cans now, so 1st thing to buy is a spare wheel, as they still supply a wheel well

Keep the little compressor, they're both quick and quiet.
That's a handy tip for anyone rummaging through scrap cars that don't have spare wheels.

Good point Nick, I do have one in one of (Hmmm, which one, scratches head?) the Migs.

Yep. Kept mine when I got the spare wheel.

On Tuesday I acquired this...


Demo plus one owner, diesel, manual, heated/ventilated sports leather, parking sensors front and rear, rear blinds, bluetooth, exterior pack and last but not least 4x4. Which makes it rather rare

No spare wheel though, only goo and a compressor. Which was made all the more annoying when this happened...



... on the way home

Wheel/tyre now replaced with a second one on its way as a full sized spare

Jesus Al,you gave that wheel some slap,how's suspension taken it?

[05omegav6]

Fine, new wheel/tyre fitted and it drives perfectly Only other casualty was the engine tray... and a pallet, undertray is the lowest point, so that bore the brunt but still fully attached, and that wheel hit the resulting shrapnel. Bloody lucky really, not so much as a mark anywhere else

First thing I did was get the car on a lift to check it over and as soon as I saw the wheel damage, I figured I wouldn't make it any worse by driving it home The alternative was waiting for a flat bed as it can't have a suspended tow...

Being four wheel drive, the rear suspension is totally different to the wwd ones, and alot more substantial

Yet another oil change... This time on the 3.2

I think I'd be have a four wheel alignment check to be sure
