    No idea, man. It was like that when I bought it.

    The last owner, my girlfriend's brother, gave it a hard life to be fair.
    It was an economical write off within the first few weeks they had it and when I bought it he had been driving on two different alloy styles and a steelie for a few months. All because he cracked an alloy on a curb.

    It's come on a bit since I bought it but it still needs work. :rolleyes:

    I should set a time limit for this to happen. Like 3 days or else a week ban, then 3 more days after that and a month ban. And it'll keep on going until I convince an Admin to ban you from the site...

    hmmm....

    :pac:

    I'd just ban him anyway................

    Exhibit A



    Peugeot 208, knocking on heavens door. A song about a lawman who's dying and can't continue to fulfil that role.

    Edit: I've just seen the full ad on YouTube and it makes a bit more sense than the shortened version we get. Possibly nsfw.



    Exhibit B
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRR7FK5lIqk&sns=em

    Renault megane, heroes by David Bowie, a song about a German couple having an affair in Berlin during the Cold War.


    Am I missing something, or are these tunes just completely at odds with what they're selling.

    I know heroes has been used from everything from the special Olympics to the London Olympics to the World Cup music in 2006.

    Can't see your exhibit a link Colm.

    Odd choice of song in the second one alright.

    And why half the ad devoted to sporting heroes???

    I could only find the full version they have in France and it may have inappropriate content


    I can't see how someone would see that and go 'a megane. I might buy one of those' I just think of the dunblaine massacre

    First thing you did with a car you just bought is to go get it sorted out by a garage?! Dude, how little did you spend on this car and what condition was it in?! :eek:

    Anybody watching the series Fast N'Loud on Discovery?

    Pretty good show. Would be nice if they went into a bit more technical detail like ed on wheeler dealers does, but still good as it is.

    ah no not like that.

    your man said he'd service it and put tyres on it.

    I got him to drop the price and I'd do those myself with atlas.... since the last service was done on it by a main dealer with a full service history from a main dealer I'd like atlas to do it rather than his guy out back.

    and when he said he was gonna get tyres he meant part worns from another country..... just said feck it let the guys in atlas do it like.

    I have more trust in them :)

    He is also going the wrong way down a one way on a road that does not really go anywhere. A much wider road runs parallel to it. The road layout has changed since the street view image. (the red area is now a concrete traffic island)
