Well I bagged myself a car to drive around in for the next two days:D (mah weekend, I work sat
)
Out of the MX5, the 750i, the AMG Cclass, the Saab 900 turbo and countless E class estates guess what I got.
Yep that's right, It's the ancient Opel Zafira :pac: It's showing 250K km on the clock, smells funny, has 4 winter tyres form a brand I've never heard of and it was 34ºc today.... Not quite the interesting drive I was hopping for! At least it's a 2.2 not the ****ty 1.6 (still not fantastic though) oh and the fuel gauge doesn't work
But at least it's a car, I hope to explore the Alps tomorrow:) 0 -

Yep, manual cars are for peasants and race drivers.

Pretty much, yeah!
Manuals are necessary on a track where you need 'complete' control over gear changes, similarly a lot of race cars have no ABS. I just don't see the need for a manual for daily driving, hence peasants and race cars. 0 -

I appreciate a good auto box but there's plenty of useless ones too. There's more decent manual boxes than there is autos in this country at least.0 -

Well then consider me a very proud peasant :pac:
Now if you don't mind, I have fields that need to be ploughed 0 -

There may not be a need but there may be a want. IMO it depends on the car, on your 520, Id only go auto but on a 325i it'd have to be manual.

The plates (the actual sleeve that numbers are printed on) on my girlfriends car are slightly crumpled and look a bit crappy. Nothing fancy required, just some simple legal prints.
Any motor factors man, well most print them anyway.
Some ask for the tax book belonging to the reg mind, so they know you ain't up to no good

Bah. Tax book would be with herself... in Galway. Was just thinking I might sort that out for her next weekend. She mentioned it was annoying her.0
