Two jump leads doubled up will be fine for a battery cable.

Pulls like a train.

What, you mean it does 0-100 in about 3 minutes and can pull really heavy trailers?

A 306 1.9 non-turbo diesel?

My S3 has Alcantara seats rather than the leather ones that come as standard. Much much nicer, don't slide around at all when you're driving "spirited". The one I test drove had leather and I felt like any hard right turn I was in the passenger seat

Every my wife's focus at has bolsters to stop this.

"Torque determines rate of acceleration. Horse power determines duration of acceleration"

When trying to find specialists a few times I've heard some variation of "They've forgotten more than anyone else could ever know" when someone has been recommended. I find it such a daft saying.
First time I called one of these experts I found them to be unapproachable and arrogant. Apparently it was because I failed to mention the name of someone they know Yeah......

I’m guilty of over-using “Does what is says on the tin” with reference to capable, but dull cars.

My old Honda CR-Vs and current Dacia Duster are accurately described this way I feel, though there’s an obvious difference in price and build quality between them.

People talking abouts EV and quoting production methods as if they are some sort of evangelical second Christ.

really Nashes my teeth (spelling intended)

Anything that comes out of Clarkson/May/Hammond mouth.

Using more than one a in Jag is a common annoyance of mine. I don't mind people shortening Jaguar to Jag, but extending the a just feels extremely moronic (like Clarkson is...), even more so when it's written down too.

Deff +1 for 'delete'. I've recently deleted a hedge in my garden.

The other word I really hate used is 'Stunning' ... really ... is a random mid spec Golf really 'Stunning'?

"No expense spared"

Has Nankang ditchfinders installed.

"Wallet full of invoices and history"

Is unreliable and virtually every part has been replaced at least once.

"Perfect example"

"Perfect example"

Generally should be proceeded by 'not a'.

Came across one today "pretty mint for its age"

In gear a acceleration
Pulls like a train
Handles like it’s on rails

Rear wiper delete grinds my gears.

I have to ask. What does “delete” mean in this context? That something has been removed?

A better way for them to write “it broke, I couldn’t be bothered to fix it so I removed it”!

For things like rear wiper that is, DPF or similar would need to be fixed to get through an MoT, unless there is a friendly tester.

"Wallet full of invoices and history"

Or maybe lots of regular servicing and preventive maintenance?
