I bought a new one of those in April of last year. I'd always wanted one and heard they weren't going to make them anymore.
Weird that you got rid of yours (presumably) when you found out your missus was pregnant and I bought mine shortly after my lad was born.
I'm all for practicality
No, I sold it before that, because it had a brazilian things wrong with it, that would have cost over a grand to fix.
The driver's door falling off was the last straw
Ohh, Yours is the TF, which is (supposedly) much improved.
Of course it's a good long-term investment. It's a car...
Mine was built in 1997, and I sold it in 2004, so it was 7 years old. It had suspension problems, brake problems, and something was up with the engine computer because it kept over-revving when stationary.
The door thing was a joke. It sort of started "drooping", which then fecked up the central locking, so they had to take it off completely and remount it. Then they decided that they needed to replace the central locking because it was fecked. It was only later that I noticed that the repositioned door was actually rubbing against the front wing when you opened it. doh!
Of course, I informed the buyer of all these things when I sold it
How do you find filling up with petrol? On mine, it used to take ages because you can only squeeze the pump handle a little bit at a time, because otherwise it shuts off
Of course, when I said I missed it earlier in this fred, I am viewing it through the rose-tinted spectacles that I was wearing when I first bought it
I found it kept shutting off at first, I was used to filling up the the other car, but I've got used to it now - just got to hold it at a weird angle. I'm sure JP or Big Les will be along shortly to tell us it's because of the juxtaposition of the fuel injectors to the turny bits attached to the wheel maniframe. Or something equally fascinating.
I've not had any problems at all with it up to now, except Bo calling it a hairdresser's car
Had to park there because I had beers in the boot and if I'd not managed to skillfully reverse into that space, I'd have had a three mile hike up hill and down dale to my mate's flat.
We don't really get many traffic wardens around here anyway.
Btw, you seem like the type to chav his car up, Bo does with his Mondeo
