I'd say this defines "low(ish) cost high liability" but I see there's a couple of W12 VAGs up at similar prices...

My friends had one of those from 2k miles, it was Audi GB managing directors car, they ran that from 2K - 178k only bits required apart from consumables,  was a rear brake caliper, and back box when punctured with road debris

What sort of cost is their to replacing the battery pack?

Apologies for the late response. The cost for us (a few years ago now) was €2000 with goodwill from Toyota. The new pack should well see the car through the rest of its life now, hopefully. 

We also have a 07 Civic hybrid and it is not nearly as good as the Prius.

My neighbour had one a couple of years back - he reckoned it was massive fun to drive on back roads, but not very comfortable (he is in his 70s).  He replaced it with a Vauxhall Tigra...

If I question your sexuality, will it show me in a bad, homophobic, bigoted, light? 

I quite like them too, and my kids have both called me gay on more than one occasion. (My wife agreed with them) 

This is probably the only reason I have the omega. A proper straight man's car.

Here's one of these run out Stilo Schumacher abarths that have a weird base spec but finally ditched the selespeed for a manual box.

First thing I'm doing is getting rid of the chav interior. Steering wheel can get in the sea as well.

Will never look like a proper 100 CS though.

I love this , Burberry, wood, fake BBS’ and all. I shouldn’t and if you described it to me I’d hate it, must be the colour. In fact if it was half the price , I’d have bought it! That, to me, is 200 quattro money .

This is a bargain at 2k, as 1 litre models are being advertised at 1500-2k.  I'm severely tempted as it's cheap to tax and insure, the only downside is it being in East Lothian where public transport is a bit lacking...

John Cooper Clarke reads his poem, Smooth Operetta - YouTube

 

'Mentioned in despatches'

 

Off grid, or off your fucking head?

a pastiche pastel ponce parlour bed

described as 'lovely', but son, you're misled

I'd sooner sleep with the recently dead...

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

...body of me great nan, who in her 90th year

would rather fight Germans or war in Crimea

and spend every day in post apocalytic fear

than spend one night in this mobile diarrhea...

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

...filled tat box with its odious vapour

what a fucking palaver,  fuck this for a caper 

fuck Laura Ashley and fuck her wall paper

pass me a sick bucket, pass me a scraper

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

...and let's get rid of the unbearable stink

save us from this hell, take us from this brink

of a nasty shade of 'dog's lipstick' pink

that's as 'tasteful' as taking a slash in the sink...

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

...that's probably hiding a nasty surprise

what's for tea mam, are you cooking us flies?

let's pack our bags and say our goodbyes

and give it a make over with no compromise

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

... on a bottle of gas and a big box matches 

and the grass is a grave where burnt  body detaches

and we're covered in medals and big fuck off patches

for services to caravanning, mentioned in despatches

Is that one of those weird IMA things?  I was looking at those a while back - they seem like a very half-arsed attempt at a hybrid.

Thats right; more or less just a plain old Civic with a stop start system. A nice and comfortable car and arguably better looking than the Prius, but less practical, less reliable and not as good at the hybrid jig.
