Continuation from motors chat round 5

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.

Without resorting to using my Mirouku with Alphamax number 4's, what's the best way of keeping pigeons off my car?

The feckers love waddling over the roof, then using the rear windscreen as a slide. Yes, a fun slide :mad: I've even put a decoy pigeon in a nearby decoy car but nope, still go for the Merc.... I wouldn't mind but they must land in muck first, claw prints all over the roof!!!!

I have nowhere else to park the car either due to.... Lack of room :rolleyes:

Car is obviously a bird magnet.

I guess I flew into that one.... Pulling the wrong birds though! :pac:

Here's today's super fun happy slide moment for example. They start in the middle of the roof, pace up and down...

Then slide down the rear window. Every time!!!

I know the feckers like to wind down after flapping about, but why not the neighbours chimney cowl instead....!

Like a D-Turbo: slammed to the floor and screw the life outta her? Don't have one anymore :pac:

Chat over a cup of tea with one of the lads in work today turned to the usual, so how was your weekend. Usual stuff, from him drinking, women...great weekend, lucky single bastard!
Then he tells me about how his sunday evening was ruined by an ar$ehole in a micra.
He was stuck in the "fast lane" trying to over take a car but stuck behind another car. Micra tailgating going nuts.
Work Colleague pulls into middle lane micra man pulls along side him going ape, guy I work with tells him to get over it and fu*k off.
micra over takes him pulls in starts brake testing him. Micra men Slams on like a loon to a complete stop, gets out of the car starts screaming punching his car then kicks the mirror off his car.

He didnt get a reg or anything. So anybody witness two big blokes one in a micra the other guy in a c3 stopped on the m50 yesterday...

Last person that touched my car in traffic, I threw his bag of evening heralds into the canal

An automatic is what I need. The left leg is getting waaay too much work in around all the by-roads!

Went for a spin in the motor for the first time in a week and a half (shock horror!). Had been driving a Ford B-Max all week...thought it was a nice enough car, then getting back into my yoke I realised just how much I love the 325. Hardly a fair comparison at all, it was more just being out of mine for a while that seemed to remind me how much I enjoy driving mine.

The b max is the one with the weird doors?

Sure is! Cool little car, I liked it. With the 1.0 ecoboost engine it was perfectly capable little yoke. Definitely a good family car with those rear sliding doors.
