Snoo V7 - ah spring, has sprung, a SNOO! (bless you).

Getting ready to go out to music in typical girly fashion after having the utter horror of our PMT coinciding and spending the past week being distant and arsey with each other. Is nice to finally be back to normal, never really experienced it before because we don't live together and any other visits haven't coincided. Sooo we're finally in fairly high spirits, still speaking to each other, and off out to a new Jamaican bar down the street for dinner <3
 
Bit boring but a great realief, the old Tank Rover passed the MOT yesterday, I've done a fair few bits and pieces in preparation but really don't have the motivation to do much else and getting it fixed elsewhere is a hassle as most garages won't touch it. So a few second hand spares of fleabay, a cheap set of brake disks and pads, a G of speed and half a days work paid off.
 
awesome. now come ere n do my dodgy fiat punto?

it's about a week over. There should be nowt wrong with it tbh, hardly driven it for a year cos I use my sisters car mainly, but I need to get it taxed n MOTd quick smart (just renewed my insurance). I Hope mine's as easy as yours was. A local bloke does mine, has converted his garage/front garden into a mini garage, gets it MOTd from a friends garage then does what's needed himself and sorts me out with the cert. Seems pretty decent and cheap.

I hate having to take my car into a proper 'national' place. It usually ends up costing loads
 
Marmz, if logistics were not as ridiculous as they are I would gladly help.

Wasn't quite that simple on the Tank Rover but I've got the jobs done over the last 5-6 weeks, had to get a new wheel as I broke one in a curbing incident, had to replace all the discs and pads, fix the wipers and fit new blades (they fail the MOT if your blades are slip or the wash wipes don't work FFS) alos new headlight on one side and repair both rear lights. The old Tank Rover was built in a shed my men in overalls and you can tell !!

If you trust the place its going to and it drives OK a little punto should throw up and big surprises, but of it needs an expensive part all the breakers sell on Fleabay .

Just had to change the headlight bulb on Mrs A's Mariva, what arsehole designs this stuff, took aver an hour and I had to remove the front wheel on that side and the inner wheel arch just to gain access to one of the bolts and before anyone asks I did check both the official and unofficial methods to do it....cars ...grrrrrr
 
eeek, a mariva? Is it one of the models that the back passenger doors open up the opposite way?

I drove one of them to London once. Loathed it. Driving performance was the worst ever. Acceleration made me want to spit feathers.

I know fuck all about cars, but that model aggravated me to fuck.
 
Nah it's an older one with normal doors and the 1.7 TD, it's been a good car TBH. My parent have the one with the suicide doors, I don't rate them, stupid hand brake arrangement and it looks 'orrrible.

And a bit of retail snooo, I popped into a shop that a couple of friends own. Its been open for a while but I hadn't had a good look around, they specialise in Mod / Skinhead type gear.

Ended up getting a really nice pair of brogues in a deep redy brown, I have a couple of fancy meetings coming up, one at the BoE and they will look nice with a blue suit I have...Mrs A was taken aback as I so rarely indulge in clothes and almost never unless she is there...probably because I never go into clothes shops unless we are both out.

the handbrake thing had me spazzing out many a time while driving back home, especially going through all the london boroughs. fucking nonsense buttons n shit. Crawling up any slight incline at 10mph even in 1st gear due to the shit acceleration just did not compute either

The orginal is a really good little car, the 1.7td is far from slow and has bags of torque, sits easily on 100MPH and will pull clean up to 115MPH.

My father worked for Vauxhall for 27years so I grew up around cars, these new eco friendly 'town' cars are generally a pile of shite, they will have great economy figures, on paper at least but awful to drive and full of useless modifications, like that stupid handbrake that seem to be solving problems that never existed.

I betting the plucky little Punto is a much better drive all round, gotta get rid of the Tank Rover soon and no idea what to get, I do like a 4X4. Skoda Yeti looks like a good compromise to me.
 
My Mate's just bought a new Range Rover Evoque. It's a lovely looking car, but it is quite clearly a rich person's toy. Looks like summat from Star Trek inside.

It's a hairdressers car. He should have bought the Range Vogue HSE edition. I think it's sex on wheels.

Since we have already derailed this thread with car chat, I don't think the above is a pic of then new Evoque, it's actually even worse than that handbag of a motor vehichle

I really don't get the whole urban Range Rover thing. I'm not sold on the styling, they're way too expensive and the performance is pretty poor compared to the alternatives for that kind of money.

Neither do I. Cunts buying massive expensive 4x4s to drive about a city?

Are you going to be doing any off roading in your vehicle? No? Got lots of mountains n shit to drive up? No? Rallying it about a farm? No? BUY A FUCKING CAR DICKHEAD.

QFT. You could buy a Porsche or a Nissan GTR for that kinda money. Either that or buy a sensible car and place a sizable deposit on a house with the change...

According to the test I saw it's pretty dam good on the ruff stuff as it uses the from the rest of the Range.

I've got a 2004 Discovery TD5, I did an off road training course in the same thing and can confirm it can cope with a great deal more than a muddy field.

I've held off getting rid of it whilst I waited to see if there any chance of me going back to a manual, but this aint ever gonna happen. Aside from the proper landrover defender I would think very few see off road use. I live on the very top of the Chilterns so we always get a fair amount of snow and we live on a steep hill, but probably of most importance id it wont go fast so I have much less or a worry about getting points and stuff.

I like the 'go anywhere' nature of the car option, short cuts across fields, driving half on the verge on country roads and the high drving position gives a much better view of the road ahead...important when the brakes are a bit shite.

Range Rovers and the Disco 2 and 4 have the capability but the interiors and bumpers and trim would be wrecked by off road activity....fuel consumption ?? lets just say not great.
 
I can understand why you would choose a 4x4, living where you do. It's the Chelsea crowd that I'm talking about.

I used to ridicule em too, and call em 'chelsea tractors' and pretty much assumed they were all used for something like the M&S collect by car grocery service at the top of the car park to the local shopping mall or summat ... but altho I used to say exactly the same and dis em, I went on a drive one christmas eve in my works honda civic R type to my local woods/mini forest place for a walkabout ... and got stuck in the snow (pretty much in a standard car park). My tyre got caught on a fucking wooden plank that marked the path edge to the car park and just wouldn't fucking move .... and one of those lovelies just pulled me out of it in a fucking heatbeat ... I stopped dissing em after that experience.

I still take exception to the ones with 'bull bars' on the front, cos they cause unnecessary damage and pose an unnecessary risk (to people, when involved in general road accidents) for no good reason, but if you don't live in an average built up area, they can be really fucking handy.
 
The HSE Evoke / Vogue was designed by non other than Victoria Beckham. So no wonder it's all the rage of the school run mothers.

I still think the Vogue edition is pure sex though. And yes you are correct the picture I linked to was the HSE version (non vogue)

There's a company you can send the HSE Vogue to, and they'll upgrade the engine and remap it to something like a 6.5L engine and fuck knows what BHP, but it costs almost the same as the car (£65,000+)

It's on my "if I win the lottery" wish list..
 
She was a 'design consultant' AFAIK, with all due respect to her she didn't design a dam thing on the csr.

I'll probably stick to the Old Disco 2 for now, I used a bank loan to buy it and it that finishes Sep_14_2014.

I'd get another form of 2 wheeled commuter transport but Mrs A couldn't live with the worry, what ever I get in won't be new and has to be an auto.
