Of course it is. Now they are off to buy a Fiat Panda and are about to discover the joys of girly navigation
"We ought to have turned right back there" cussing: (Turns map upside down to illustrate etc.)
-
Oh the hours of fun they will have in the one-way systems around here!
-
eveilgrin: eveilgrin: eveilgrin: eveilgrin: eveilgrin:
It will end in tears!
Part of the driving test ought to be about navigation by proxy.
-
Can you imagine it - long jorney to Welshland, no Wispas, PMT etc - twill end in tears.

They have to get to the M4. He has never driven, and she will map read.

In this instance, I assume "GPS" stands for "General Puke Stopper" ?

I assumed the shadow was some sort of phallic shaped gate post.
Kinda narrow at the shoulder and broad at the hip. whistle:

Well that is the last time I share pictures with you lot!!! evil:

And how was the wind yesterday?

Why do you need GPS anyway? Surest way to get your car broken into. They spot the sticker marks on the windscreen and bust the side window 'cos they know most people think they are being clever by removing the device and placing it in the glove box. Even if you put it in your pocket they'll still break into the car to try and find it.
Now these work just as well, if not better. Older technology I know but proven.

Take no notice of the comments Wenchy. I'm sure the three of you will be very happy together.

The word "eclipse" comes to mind......... whistle:

I want to beleive that the pointy bits protruding at the sides of the shadow are elbows as well.
Does the car get to sleep on the bed?
Seriously, very nice and you will enjoy keeping it that clean and shiny.

Paint job on that front n/s wing could have been blown in a bit better imho. rubschin:
Thank the ruddy lord it ISN'T a friggin cabroheyheyley either. 2/10 up from zero, oh, and black is the biggest bastard of all time to keep clean.
-
Looks a bit like a Bombay taxi drivers idea of a rearranged Beetle.
-
Seriously. Ask anyone with a black car.....like me. ::)
Looks brillo when clean, but they don't stay that way for long, like, a quick trip to the late shop even renders it a filthy disgrace to the neighbourhood.
What have I started? She'll be asking advice on how to clean it next no doubt. ::)

Shall we start a Buy Wenchy a Sponge Appeal?

She might prefer to go for a 'Buy Wenchy a Car Wash' appeal instead.
I owned a black Citroen XM limo once and washing it every day wasn't enough.

I got over 140,000 miles out of mine, so no complaints there. The electrics could be a bit touchy at times though.
It was why it went in the end. Far too complex for it's time and far too many toys fitted - but I did like the password start interlock.

Virtually ALL cars are fitted with too much totally uneccessary toys shite on them now.
Auto wipers?
Auto headlights?
Electric seats?
Auto dipping interior mirror?
...to name just a few for the bone idle. Don't complain when they break down, as they surely will. ::)

WHY?
Big Boys toys That's why! (and girls too these days) I've got more goodies than you have.
Returning to vaguely on-topic - The C4 Grand Picasso that I have now is cute, but I can't help wondering what would happen if I turned up to take a driving test in it.
1. No handbrake (in the conventional sense)
2. Gears? Neither automatic or manual really.
3. No clutch.
4. Assisted hill starts.
5. Parking assistance (automatically measures space to decide if big enough)
6. If big enough all round sensors guide in to park
7. Speed limiter to 30mph if needed.
8. Anti lock brakes.
9. Panoramic vision and mirrors.
10. Proximity sensors.
Group B1 at a pinch? After all, what would they actually be able to test me on?
Anyone failing their test in that, should be shot.

Does it make the tea as well?

Tell you. One of the best little cars i've driven of late is the Citroen C1, mainly because of it's total simplicity, and therefore lack of things to go wrong.
Windey up windows even! eeek:
