Motors Chat Thread Round 3

Alanstrainor

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

Had to create a new thread, as the last one was on the fritz!

Have fun everyone.

The compact, along with that similar ugly Merc of the same era (can't remember the name) are some of the worst designs ever to come out of Germany.

They've basically continued the mistake until recently

I don't disagree but I'm not talking about how they drive.
It's renowned for being ugly.

Is the Merc hatch still going? The 1-series is vile but I always like to drive them. So many of them are poverty spec ones though bought by people who couldn't afford them in the first place.

Personally I think it's a good looking car. It's better than most of the cars in its class in that regard.

I think a lot of the perceived ugliness is the fact that it's often only got a 1.6 and therefore shyte in every respect as a result to many.

I was wondering where you went.

Lots of new faces and usernames.

Lots of the old regulars seem to have disappeared too.

Would anyone else trust a Lada Nuclear submarine being made by Russia and used by the Chinese?

China is buying 24 Su-35 fighters and four Lada-class submarines

Just booked my car into the body shop to get the rust on the rear arches of my car sorted. 500 squids. That would have gone a long way towards taxing it...or insuring it...or towards new wheels

The way I see it though, if that rust started to creep out from the arches and onto the bodywork, no matter what wheels/MSport kit etc I had on it, it would look like a complete heap.

Will try and get some before and after shots of her. She'll be done by Thursday week.

Theres a tiny bit of bubbling about half inch x half inch on the rear quarter panel of mine too

That sounds the exact same as mine. Unfortunately, its such a big panel that it costs €€€ to do right. Ah sure like, you're in no mad hurry. Mine has been more or less the same since I've owned it. Only getting around to it now.

Enjoy her for now! And worry about the niggles a bit later.
