What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

I just love the way that Lidl automatically assumes its target demographic must be piloting absolute rammel.

 

"Here, mate, you wouldn't have a car cover for a Daewoo Espero?"

 

"Sure thing, squire - right over here."

 

"What about one for a Fiat Regata Weekend?"

 

"But of course - it's this one you'll be wanting."

 

"And a Peugeot 406?"

 

"Naah, too modern, chief. You'd need a main dealer for that."

They didn't have any of the small size in stock, but I'll bet it states that it'll fit Toyota Starlets and Fiat Unos...

Walking the dog round the local woods, it's silent except for us an aeroplane noise, frozen under foot and we haven't seen any other footprints. Trying to spot a deer next.

I love it I could happily live in the middle of a big wood

I reckon if you got a porker or two on the back row the front'd life up and the wheels would just spin.

I drove it and everything!  I'm super happy about this and totally expecting it to fart its suspension overnight.

Has it gained a bonnet bulge that runs in the wrong direction to the engine or is it a trick of the light?

Anyway pleased for you, hopefully the princess will contain itself overnight!

Factory stying thing that.  Hangover from the concept of them having an in-line V6 and rear wheel drive originally, most likely.

Um...somewhat childishly - having utterly handed someone in an Audi A4 their behind when I got fed up of them trying to undertake me, and responded by booting it in the Activa.

 

...they definitely weren't expecting a 20+ year old Citroen to accelerate like that.

My elderly neighbour has got a new car to replace his Toyota Previa, because it is too big and uses a lot of petrol. He loves the new one and drove it home some 300km's , he was quite happy with it on the hilly bits and also the fuel consumption.

My first thought upon reading that was Princess Anne. She had a Scimitar dont you know?

On the basis that the pictured N-reg Dolly doesn't appear to be full of wob, very likely.
