    Re: If you have a liitle dick like me....

    Biggest mistake I made was a 75 BMW 530 i in 1982 and a 98 Jaguar xj8.in 2003 After 50 000 mile of local non Jag mechanics the Jag was dead faulty. In the end I sold it broke down for 1800 bucks just to get rid of it. It was beautiful as well. Black on black leather. Stunning car but it 500 dollared me to death. It had 106 000 miles on it when I told the bloke he needed to have it towed. "I think I will be alright," he said. He opted to drive it and fooked the engine up on the free way. Daft kunnt.

                  Had a VW Beetle at Abingdon Dave used to get 8 lads in it to go down town for a wet, it spluttered and farted with smoke belching out of something at the back, totally reliable, I usd to dare it to break down. Got a vauxhall Astra, had it 7 years, never any problems, anything makes me move seats in the pub is if some prick starts talking about his 'drop head cam shaft dingleberger' not a f***in clue what the f**k they are talking about. Turn ignition key car starts = happy, turn ignition key car does not start = sad, as Mr McCawber may have said

                    Yep bugger unreliable cars. I am same as Wig. I just want to pump the smelly stuff in the hole on the side and turn the key and travel..... Other than sussing the water and oil I never lift the bonnet. I changed a starter motor once....with a lump hammer and bolster chisel...

                        I had a 71 saffron yellow Triumph TR6. Nice looking but had all the sophistication of a farm tractor. Plus I needed me own personal tow truck following me. Tell you what though Dave for all their mechanical detractions that Triumph 2000, Vitesse and Stag were lovely lookin' motors.
