Car dealers.Two years ago I got a pre reg new motor deal. All good. But now for only the second time in my life I’m taking a car for a service, the first was last year. So;Me – Can I bring it in at 09:00hrs.Dealer – Sure – no problem.Me – When will I get it back?Dealer – Oooo, should be ready before 15.00hrs.Me – What the fuck? Is it getting a full engine strip down and re-build or something? I’d like it back for 10.00 if you don’t mind. Can I have it back at 10.00 please?Eventually agreed to bring it in at 08:15 and they guaranteed it would be ready by 11:00 at the latest.Presumably this is just a bit of kidology to make you think they are actually doing lots of stuff to your car for that small fortune of cash you are handing over, when in fact they are just robbing you blind for an oil and filter change.
Errm...not my post

And totally a LCD second dash I was looking at a picasso and the radio -air con - heating controls are on one LCD dash if the radio is on you have to "navigate" to the heating section to change that and then navifocinggate back taking your eyes off the road --stupid. Also push button start WTF - it actually takes longer than putting a key in and turning - all one action, but a push button you first push the keyfob in a hole in the dash and then press the start button -stupid.AND i want a CD player please !!!!!!!!!!!A lot of these features are becoming pretty much standard across the ranges now tho.If you want a new car you're probably going to have to accept some of these things.I'm not hankering for an electric handbrake and an engine that keeps cutting out, but what choice is there now?.They lay half an inch of salt on the roads round this way nearly every night, so cars only have a limited life span I guess.At least most of the new large saloon cars are stunning to look at unlike most of the new bikes where there now appears to be a competition to see who can come up with the most ugly disjointed look possible.

Ha, actively diverts you if you start wondering out of a lane.
Not if it makes them use them like most HGVs on the A14 indicate pull out no use of mirrors or they don't give a foc if there,s anything on the outside of them. Might buy the excuse of blind spot on my bike but how do you miss a foccing great 4x4
