They sell so well that the dealers are reluctant to give you a deal. 12 week waiting list.
Not even a tank of petrol or some mats!

Missus has ordered one through the scrappage scheme and is due September.
I'm too old for all those graphics and girlie colours so will avoid driving it but I did insist she got a black one in case I do have to go out in it.

Glad to hear your good news Stuarty

errrr. actually i own a new shape micra, a sport version
why?

well, its THE most reliable small car on the road (thats fact not opinion), its built in this country, so supports our people. Its got everything i need (air-con, 6 disc cd player, etcetc. ) it costs us Â£194 fully comprehensive insurance, does 50mpg (1.2) and is Very nice to drive.
My next car will be the note, which does 65mpg and is also built in this country

can't argue with those facts !

I've got a Nissan Note, it doesn't do 65mpg though as it's petrol but that's not a problem as I only do low mileage.
Good car and well priced.
I wanted my missus to get a Micra instead of a 500 but seeing she's been driving around in the same car for 17 years (that's not a typo!) she deserves the right to choose a new one.

This is turning into a car forum!

So what cars do you the other Brew Cabin Irregulars run?

you are right, i was referring to the diesel

can you tell me , why do all 500 drivers drive round with thier front fog lights on all day, which appear to be independant of the side lights?? ITS NOT FOGGY!!!!

Stuarty, glad to hear your working again, next week I`ve the given the task off cutting the labour down, dont mind about the arseholes but it could come to the good guys.

Stuarty · Post: # 40282Post **Stuarty** Thu Jul 30, 2009 8:59 pm

I dont envy that task, as you say numpties and arseholes are the first to go but if the powers that be say more must go you need to pick and choose carefully. Theres only a couple of eejits where im working, one is like that harry enfield character ( you dont wanna do it like that, you wanna do it this way ) nothing worse when your stuck in traffic and your getting an earful about how that road would be better than the one your one.

DNgroundworks · Thu Jul 30, 2009 9:19 pm

Only got the transit ha ha, nearly bought a BMW 325 sport coupe but couldnt get insured.............probably a good thing eh

Stuarty · Post: # 40288Post **Stuarty** Thu Jul 30, 2009 10:55 pm

atleast there will be plenty room in the tranny for the shopping lol :p

on the motoring front, ill be chucking the punto this year definatly, the sump is getting kinda thin :0 so once i get the cash scraped together ill buy an old escort van or somethin just to get me to work and back and doesnt matter a toss if it gets wrecked then when i can get finance on ill get me a new motor. wouldnt mind a beemer myself or a golf either
