So... I've been considering this for the past while.
Already in love with it. (after my previous attempt at buying this model in f350 guise a while back)

You'd want to check it out. As I know proper vans only pay 200 euro but I'm fairly sure that commercial jeeps and car derived vans pay a percentage. Seems to normally work out at 1-2k euro for car/vans. I don't have a clue about what a jeep would cost. I could be completely wrong but worth looking into just incase you assumed it was a flat 200 euro rate.

Everytime I move this Triumph, bits just fall off.

I pulled up the bootlid and it came clean off.

Theres also a huuuuuuge spider inside somewhere, I'm not looking forward to taking out the interior

There's only one solution.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what went on here Doesn't look photoshopped... 141 and all!!

Handbrake not put on or it slipped.

Hal1

Well I collected one of these today:



Hoping to use it at the weekend. It's a wet / dry vac with wet extraction function. So it can be used to deep clean upholstery.

@Noccy Mondy: someone was late for mass :pac:.

Oops i forgot the handbrake on this hill i parked on!

MuppetCheck

It's a rental so I bet it was either handbrake or they floored it. Either way they're used to an auto I bet.

I would imagine the Corsa is a rental car, probably rented by an American used to an Electronic brake.

The American parked on the top of the hill and as he thought he had an electronic or auto park brake, the American never engaged the handbrake

........and Corsa goes WHEEEEEEEEHH!

Noccy_Mondy

I was thinking that too, but it looks like the wall is up higher over the grass, which should have stopped it, or there should at least be damage done to the wall. Hard to tell though.. Seems the only logical explanation though

Logbook and Insurance cert arrived in the post today while I was at work.

My car is 100% officially Mine, and completely, mostly legal.

That's a rather nice feeling that is.

Sweet mother of god the difference between m-sport seats and SE... I've it set as close to the shape of a bucket seat as is possible, dat comfort.

I wonder how the two cars became dis-lodged, especially on a Sunday morning?

Mentioned to my parents I was going to buy a new car. Have a guess what the first question was?

Will you buy a diesel?

Seriously?! I live in the city centre and drive around 7K a year MAX.

I know that feel Bro, I know that feel. I know that if I do pick up the e39 my dad would end up driving it more even though he hates the tax :P

Can confirm that it will happen.

There's nothing like waking up to find the drive empty of newly bought Mazda, and the spare keys missing from the hiding place.

Only a note informed me it wasn't stolen, just borrowed while I was sleeping for a run to Trim.

Had back/shoulder pain when I was doing high miles regularly from the SE seats, the lack of support anywhere in them means you can end up sitting awful strangely at an angle and not even realize until you're in bits the next day. These are luxury in comparison!

Yet another reason to go Sport.

I love my sport seats. Really supportive. Need to refurb the leather on the drivers side, no idea how to go about that though!

The important question is, were you driving a corsa at the time?

That was in the news last month IIRC, the person left the handbrake off during a wedding
