That's SG's dog. Gas position alright! My dirty hairy animal is banned from sitting anywhere people sits!

renofan · 15-04-2015 10:39AM

No dog or food gets into my car! When I met my now wife she'd her car about a year at that stage, never cleaned it, and had a boxer and a terrier in the car most days! Hairs everywhere :eek:

Darraghmh91. · 15-04-2015 10:49AM

I'm the same I'd never let a dog in my car no way
I don't eat in the car either and pull over if I want a smoke I won't let anyone smoke in the car ha there's rules to follow before you step into the car
No touching windows
No dirty runners they go in the boot
No dogs
No eating
No smoking
You just sit there quietly with your hands on your lap and enjoy the ride ha

I remember the first 406 I got, owner kept dogs in it.

The smell on a hot day was eye watering

Interior was removed and set fire to

Id be the same about all animals no way they wouldn't be let near it. Same with smoking I don't smoke anyway but no smoking allowed. I've tried enforcing the no eating but it normally ends up being broken by me

in I wouldn't eat in it during short journies but if I'm in it for 2 or 4 hours of driving I met end up eating in it but not take away or chrisps I draw the line on that. No milk allowed to be opened in it either.

Foxhole Norman · 15-04-2015 01:36PM

Ah lads, live a little! I don't allow people to smoke in mine but could care less about eating/drinking. A quick hoover is all you really need after people eating!

GvidoR · 15-04-2015 01:44PM

This is turning into a chat thread. But since we're gone this far, I'll just add that no food/drink rules are crazy, unless you have one of a kind Porsche or something.

I had a dog in my Colt once, wasn't a very pleasant experience but was able to get 99% of the hair out eventually.

Might be crazy for someone who hasn't forked out a lot for a car or who isn't car proud. I know these aren't mutually exclusive but each to their own.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate people keeping their cars clean. Obviously I don't spend much money on my cars (mainly because I can't afford to) but I still love them and keep them clean. If I do eat something in it, it's not like I have a huge paper plate with spaghetti and meatballs. Having a sandwich or something like that is fine and if a little crumb falls, it will not leave a stain and can be easily cleaned.

I just hate dirt in the car. Dirt on the outside is pretty unavoidable in our climate, but the inside of the car is like the inside of the house, clean and kept clean. there's no excuse for having a mauldy interior except dirtyness :pac:

Past cars ive had were often used as canteens depending on what building sites i was working on

Chris_Heilong · 15-04-2015 04:15PM

I would like a no eating car but when you have a family it gets hard to keep telling them no. They do end up wrecking the thing eventually. Hard rule is no syrup, no ice cream, no ice pops, no chips unless the window is fully open and I have stopped the car.

Hate eating in the driver seat. Had a Mazda 626 that the passenger seat folded to give you a flat plastic table if you sat in the back seat.

Great looking 166, the new paint job makes all the difference. One of my favs on here.

Gvidor, you caught me! Just the look I was going for!

Cheers Voodoo, the detail made the big difference, best money I ever spent! If I can have mine anywhere near as clean as your 720d I'll be a happy camper...!

Duke O Smiley · 15-04-2015 07:19PM

Easily one of the nicest 166s in the country if you ask me

I'm sure your paint is a million times better than mine up close. The 166 can fade into the background in silver, but that green is the business.

Delighted to hear that, however the wheels seem to be a bit marmite with a lot of people. They are a graphite colour at the moment, which I really like myself. Many others seem to think go back to the original silver colour!

maddness · 15-04-2015 08:46PM

That green colour is gorgeous on the 166. Love green cars....think I'm in the minority though.

UnknownSpecies · 15-04-2015 09:08PM

Wouldn't say I love green cars, but that green is stunning.

toastedpickles · 16-04-2015 04:57PM

Not the most flattering picture but the staff wanted to take it for their facebook page, went in for tracking and tyres this morning and thewhole garage was out looking at it -proud owner- :pac:

Even wrote this

"91 SAAB 900 - Thanks for bringing this beauty into us this morning. Don't see too many of these on the road anymore. A wolf in sheep's clothing."

Now that it can actually drive properly, that last statement is oh so true

GvidoR · 16-04-2015 05:17PM

Congratz!

Another 12 months nct! 2 rear kumho tyres all that were needed.

If I were to permanently swap my insurance to a van (commercial) owned by me and transporting my own property (ie; not to be a man with a van/courier/delivery person) would my insurance just charge me more/less and leave me at it?

Or is that too straight forward and simple?

I have something in my head that tells me i lose my NCB if i switch to a commercial? That, even though I'm one single human person, my competence behind the wheel of a car and behind the wheel of a van are judged as two separate things by insurance companies?

(so if im driving a private vehicle for 5 years, then buy a van and drive that for 10 years, when I swap back to a car again, despite driving for 15 years, i still only have 5 years NCB? But even that may also be wiped out because I wasnt insured on a private vehicle for a certain period of time, so after 15 years of driving, i could actually be told I am starting from scratch on my private car cos I haven't been insured on a private car in so long?)

My insurance company close at 5pm so can't ring them to ask.

You'd think a fairly straight-forward dual policy would exist.
