Snake-Pit Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Buying a used convertible on the internet... Speedometer doesn't work. Playing with the glove compartment yesterday stopped the rev counter from working/so hopefully it's just a loose plug. This car took its roof down just once for me, but the other 25 attempts, no luck. It's probably going to pool with antifreeze if I use the heater, and flood the back. There's smoke coming from the exhaust. The tyres and brakes I just want to change, they're corroded, worn... want new tyres and brakes. I haven't got a spare wheel. The driver window doesn't work at all. The rear near side lamp needs a new bulb. - and probably a bunch of other stuff. I still haven't found the fuse box... Still it could be worse.

Gordon Comstock Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 My last car was also a girly little 2-door (sorry Snakes), but it could turn on a dime and I could park it anywhere, and it cost me about $30 to fill The dash lights didn't work and the headlights only kind of worked, and it topped out at 100k/h, overall it was a real piece of shit. But now I have a truck I fuckin' love... and some god damned cunt fucking keyed the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-Pit Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I have a big little car. It's parked next to a 5 door Nissan Micra (T Reg from the late 1990s) and a 2007 Toyota Yaris. There's a newer 2004 Nissan Micra parked across it and it's still a little bigger than that. It's about the same size as a 5 door Ford Focus of the same age (2001); but then it is a VW Golf and, these Golfs are bigger than VW Polos, so it's actually holding it's own... These Golfs are little cars, but they're big little cars. But that said, my car is a little car with a thirsty 2.0 petrol engine. £675 to get it road worthy again.

Could it be smaller? (TWSS). Where are you driving to? 1905? where tall people were 5'5'? how about you stop posting, and get a real car, that isn't entirely embarrassing? I'm just kidding, of course, it's a nice car, and i hope you enjoy it. Lots of love, Jackie Moon xoxo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if they're challenging point A, i can support that. Who doesn't want to fly out of the car, ALA will smith Independence Day? but point B, it's hard to get behind that. so to speak.

Jackie Moon Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I am rethinking my post. There is obviously no excuse to shit oneself behind the wheel.... but, who here has not peed into a bottle, or bottles, more specifically, in a car setting? I mean, its obviously not ideal. but telll "its not ideal" to a crisis scenario. FUCK YOUR IDEALS. PERSON! I GOTTA PISS! We've all been there. Having a plan B is not a bad idea. Maybe some sort of funnel / tube scenario. could be the next big thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake-Pit Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I bought this Nextbase Car 7 - 7" Portable In-Car DVD Player for £65.00 I've already fitted it to my car, behind the driver seat to the head rest. ATM I currently have a copy of in the car DVD player. and... I was the bastard who bought the last 5 of Les Paul air freshener , now thanks to me, this item is no longer available on Amazon. I have 1 in my car and 4 back ups I put aside... My car now smells all minty/mentholated. Looks cool though. There were other Les Paul air fresheners from this company, but none looked as cool as this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best bottles are Sunny Delight and Oasis as the rim is most accommodating. Do not make the mistake of using a banana Friji bottle as there is nothing on earth that smells as bad as piss and banana milkshake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't buy one where the previous owner has tippexed "Ouch" underneath a massive fucking dent.
