    First car advice

    Try to see the car before you part with money. If possible, drive the car. It's a 1994 Fiesta, should be fairly cheap. Nevertheless, I would be wary of a car that costs £300-ish. The quality needs to be asertained physically. If possible, take a mechanic-friend/the AA out to check the car...

    6 Points in a ******* week

    Dude, unlucky! :( Go and crack open a cold beer and chill. (Just remember to sober up before setting off on any more journeys - you don't need more points!!)

    Car just got done again

    Time to camp outside with an array of sporting equipment (I hear a spot of nighttime golf or baseball is very popular!) and wait for your 'fanclub' to show up. The ultimate defence: The police couldn't be bothered to deal with the criminals, there is a good chance they won't deal with you...

    Driving test tomorrow!!!

    It is, to an extent. Although the final crunch comes down to the opinion of the examiner. You can do everything right, and still fail. You can make some pretty dumb mistakes, and sail through. The best proof of this is the volume of boy racers around. No doubt some of them can, but...

    Front Parking Sensors

    Agreed. Things like ABS and PAS are OK in my books, because most modern cars have them and they are both designed to enhance safety and control of the vehicle. Things like parking sensor-thingys are removing control from the user and forcing the driver to place his faith into a piece of...

    Wrong way down the motorway

    Considering the majority of British drivers haven't got a clue about car control, least of all the contents of the highway code... how do you expect some guy from Yemen to understand? Accidents happen.

    Polishing rust off chrome?

    Cola works wonders for this, honestly! (I saw it on Mythbusters!)

    Front Parking Sensors

    Parking sensors? Thought that's what the bumper was for? :confused: ;)

    Whats the Best Hand gun in the World?

    The Desert Eagle is a show-piece gun. It's too big, heavy and weildy to be used in a defensive scenario. The recoil from the larger calibres (.50 AE) is too much for the majority of people to handle. The GLOCK and HK USP are quite nice. The former a good "all-rounder" and a favourite for...

    Chavs and carparks

    Exactly. Doing it in carparks is bad. However doing it virtually anywhere else (i.e. on the roads and near people's homes) is 100x worse.

    Chavs and carparks

    If they aren't harming anybody else - then leave them to it! Think of it this way: it keeps them off the streets in general and gives them something to do/somewhere to go.

    Buying a used car from a dealer

    Funny you should say that, it was the 1.6LX Looked great and I thought it was actually fairly good, until I actually got to use it/live in it for a few months, then its faults really showed. I guess that one experience has tainted my view of Mondeos.

    Gadgets

    An after-market phone charger/hands-free cradle. That's the only "gadget" that is present in my day-to-day runner.

    Buying a used car from a dealer

    I bet I was only of the only people in the country who had their Mondeo dashboard held together with gaffa tape as well. The interior literately... fell appart. When I drove a Vectra, I liked it. It wasn't anything specific, the whole thing was "nice". I bought one, 8 years later, it's...

    Buying a used car from a dealer

    I thought the Mondeo was a bag of **** compared to the Vectra, IMO. Very cheaply built inside. I felt the Vectra was more 'finished' inside. Plus I love Vauxhall cars.

    whats the dumbest thing youve done in a car

    A day after I passed my basic driving exam in the Army, I was asked to move a landrover. Easy, said I. Jump in cab, key in, turn engine over. WHACK! Rover jumps forward two foot straight into a wall. Someone forgot to mention everybody parks the land rovers in gear.

    car selling problem

    Sold as seen. If someone patronized me like that, I'd tell them where to go. This buyer sounds like a very nice person! :rolleyes:
