Lol all good answers. Actually found the hbol, and shock horror it had a clear picture of the clip!

Id got it all wrong, job jobbed now! Then had to get a tyre as Amy had shredded a side wall by parking like a test...

 

Oil level sensor next, what will break this time? Place your bets now...

 

 

/Banzai...

All wrong again, nothing went wrong! Although the temperature guague still doesn't work, even after cleaning the limescale off the sensor.

 

New sensor time?

 

Giving it a wash now. It's the meriva in my Sig.

Was jesting in the typical as way. I wont say shite in future then, I'll stick to dull, or boring or just call it the meriva...

 

 

Or follow the stickers all over the engine bay, and stamped into all the plastic and call it opel!

You take the piss out of the brand, yet expect help from Vauxhall owners? Bizarre.

 

As a fan of running jokes into the ground on Autoshite I am offended by this post.

Suggestion: try not 'jesting' about all vehicles from a particular manufacturer. That's just being a cunt.

Have you tried hammering a slightly less offensive post over it?

No, being you is being a cunt.

Whoa!

 

As a Saab 900 driver, and Saab being my favourite make of car, I sometimes contribute to the UK Saabs forum. Like a lot of single marque sites, it's a great place for "how dare you criticise my car" type conversations. If someone dares to point out weak spots on Saabs, you get people leaping blindly to their defence.

 

The great thing about Autoshite is the affection for the underdog you find here. By and large, uncomplimentary comments about makes of car are both made and interpreted in a lighthearted manner. It's a large part of what makes this site a pleasure to use, for me.

 

So if people start saying that all sarbs R shit, that's fine with me. It's a bit of fun and a running joke; it's just a car FFS. It's definitely not the same as saying that my wife is ugly or my children are mongs.

 

Just a question of lightening up a bit? Besides, all Vauxhalls are shit ;)

No, I disagree.

 

I find it irritating when someone I don't know decides to poke fun at a vehicle I drive 'bcos its fun hur hur".

 

You're welcome to your opinion, but I don't share it.

 

I don't have a problem with someone saying "Vectras / Agilas / Amperas, etc. are shit, they may actually have an opinion on that. But it's mongish in the extreme to slag off an entire marque. Believe me, there are some brands I don't like AT ALL. But I've got the manners to keep it to myself.

JohnF, have you forgotten to watch your cartoons this morning or what?

According to Clarkson, my car means I have given up on life. I don't take it personally, neither should anyone else!

Posted

I'm in a pissed-off mood... normal service will be resumed shortly.

 

In the meantime, you leave my Vauxhall alone or I'll tell my mum on you.
