Shitting in the shallow end. *Arse friends Electric*

Is it more inappropriate the second time around?

[Jim Bell]

I must haz mats, feels so wrong to drive commando. I make my own rubber mat to go over the carpet mats, using some of that thin ribbed rubber matting. I find it saves the carpet mat rubbing through and is easier to just shake it off every so often. The rubber is quite grippy so doesn't really ride up under the pedals very much, the occasional correction of mat position. I trace around the carpet mat, then cut the rubber mat with a Stanley knife.

 

 

 

 

Agreed.  I get itchy in a car with no mats.  I dont like not having rubber ones now.  Quite a specific quirk. 

[Jim Bell]

Is it more inappropriate the second time around?

Hopefully not.

 

I've deffo had one before. Think it lasted about four or five days?

 

*Edit. I checked. More like 27 hours.

[mrbenn]

Do you fit in these?

[bramz7]

I've found it!

 

Good buy.

[Tamworthbay]

Its the most inapropriate car imaginable.

Wow! You have bought Jimmy Savilles Roller!

[loserone]

Do you fit in these?

He didn't fit on the last one

[mrbenn]

He didn't fit on the last one

 

I thought that was the case....

[Jim Bell]

Do you fit in these?

 

 

Well.  No.

 

No not really.

 

Definately no.

 

 

Its only three and a half hours home though.

[DVee8]

I may have found it,DW approved number plate?

[Jim Bell]

Wow! You have bought Jimmy Savilles Roller!

 

 

I WISH!

[Jim Bell]

Just in case anyone HASNT found it.

 

Its like THIS one.  Just with a new EVERYTHING.

I have trawled the eBay tat thread and am none the wiser, would love it to be the 480 turbo, could be a yellow dump truck thing, probably not a fooked yellow bini, the reliant with a wheel missing is still on eBay so I am lost.

[barmatt]

I'm confused,  this is what you said about the last one...

 

I hate it to be honest.

 

 

The pedals are all very close together, and I have size 12 and a half feet.  Dunno what I was thinking.  Should have done a bit of research before buying one!

 

Most likely try and persevere with is for a bit, then give up and sell it.

 

As is my M.O.

This is AutoShite, things don't need to make sense

[loserone]

Yes. What's to be confused about?

Sorry, lost my senses for a moment there. 

 

As you were.

Yeah. I had a good laugh when I read that.  I'd pretty much forgotten about hating the last one.  Memory through rose tinted spectacles maybe.

 

I only dug that thread up after I'd bought this new one.

 

Be interesting to see if I still hate this one too.  I should, because its the same. Maybe I'll forgive it its dimensions this time round.  Certainly worked with the second SLK.

 

We shall see what difference four years make.

[mrbenn]

I remember that black SLK you had, was a nice car. Apart from it not being yellow.

[GeordieInExile]

"Elation"

 

I dunno about that like...

[Schaefft]

I'm mildly excited about this, the roffle thread currently going on got me interested in these. Damn you all.

Well you're welcome to a try of it man. See what you think. They must be almost the exact opposite of any of your fleet.

That's exactly the reason why I'd love to give it a try!

[yes oui si]

One thing I loved about my Metro was the ability to be able to touch any of the windows, or even to reach into the boot if needed from the driver's seat. You don't sit in cars like that, you wear them.

[chancer]

Those seats!! Looks crackin. Enjoy

Giddy up! He’s shod it with the classic “old money” tyre: 4 new Gallop pro’s.

Hey I've got gallopros on my transporter, they're not bad at all!

I was really impressed with how the Mini gripped on "Mohawk"s. Budget brands don't necessarily mean "also ran"s. (horse jk)

[Fabergé Greggs]

Yeah, I've had some before and been surprised by the stable handling. (horse jk)
