Itll be worse, the sort of people to buy one will be the sort to tell you about it. Even when you don't want to know, even when you've not asked, even when you don't know them. 

And that makes me hate it more

Just seen a modern car I really like! The new Peugeot 508 estate is a corker. Can’t remember the last time I thought that about a new motor.

I find that adopting an expression of studied indifference works quite well......

Yes.

On so many levels.

Just came across this bonkers video.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, the question was posed: what IS that red car...?

Triumph TR2?

Leaving for Berlin at 05.00hrs.

3 and a bit days of exploring and hopefully some relaxation.

All on my own. Whoohoo.

Someone with exceptionally bad feedback as a timewaster on eBay wants me to personally deliver a cycle to them* and doesn't mind paying the fuel costs.  Half tempted to ask for payment up front, then rock up in the XJS with a receipt from Shell.

Saw a T shirt in a shop in Whitby a bit ago that summed it up;

"Words cannot express my total lack of interest in what you say"

Should have bought it.

My French has just been understood enough in an email to book a hotel next month ( she may have been kind, I’ve been staying since 2000). First time booking direct though as they’re semi-retired now. 

[Garythesnail]

The response to the bridesmaid photo has made me smile.

Have a professional composition as a bonus

Lovely people, they really are

[tooSavvy]

Sat behind a 407sal today, driver waltzes up and plips fob and tries to pull the boot up >> nothing >> I reckoned he would open the drivers door and 'fire the lock' and have it open....

Instead he 'kind of' felt round the boot lip edge and Ponngg... Up it Pops!

*Yess Yess... I studied the boot carefully before he drove off = the "0" in 407 is a button

*ahh 407..... Still neat trick.

The wife's 307 is the same, its quite clever really and great at making you look stupid when you can't open it because there is no obvious button.

Is it? I've been looking at stock images of the 406 boot, and I can't see the "0" badge being a button at all. Maybe I need to go to SpecSavers again.

A kind of a grin.....

Been offered a job after an interview yesterday, similar to what I used do but not much more money. £19k, better than nothing and it'll help me on my continuing journey into helping get my wife here.

I am happy but cautiously happy. The company was only set up in July this year so not very well established. Job is in Birmingham so less miles but journey is a little more busy, not so many long fast dual carriageways plus will have to contend with traffic into Birmingham. Hours are a little longer than before and no free parking. Again, all makes me cautious rather than massively happy.

I think he must mean 407, as the handle is in the middle on a 406.

That's a 407, not the 406 in your original post.....
