Astra's have the hardest, flattest, most bloody uncomfortable seats - Infact I'd rather sit on a park bench for 3 hours than drive one through traffic!

Looked at one a few years back (when I had the shits at the 406) and it drove well, but not nice enough. Rubbery gearshift and the crap interior sealed the deal for me.

Not seen too many, a 3008 on the A5 the other day, and few odd cars out and about - think i've seen more sat in the research garage on a444 going into nuneaton than actually on the road :lol:

I was thinking the other day how many cars you see that are either white, silver or very dark i.e very dark blue or a black
Can't really talk with a dark metallic green car, but I know people don't appear to like colourful cars too much.
Must say, I had a mazda come past me in a lightish green, which I thought was a nice colour - not that i'm thinking of spraying the pug :cheesy:

Now I've read that a few times now, backwards and forwards, even trying to imagine what other words he could have used but am still confused :?

Wonder why the word filter doesn't mind saying shits but not sh*t?

Probably due to the "Scunthorpe" dilemma.

Think about which succession of letters are in the name of that place...

I remember Scunthorpe because of an article about the BBC website's overzealous auto-censoring word filter; people from Scunthorpe were complaining. Thing is, I'd never actually thought about the you-know-what in Scunthorpe until the article mentioned it.

So now that's what I associate with Scunthorpe!

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
