Must admit Facebook lately is just advertising and viral crap on my news feed, I only use it to private message friends on the other side of the world, but since I have started using what's app I feel I will now make Facebook redundant. On twitter however I do follow saints etc but never tweet.
Just moving the OT conversation Fats and I were having on the wrong thread (sorry RAWMOK!) over here where it should be. As we were saying - my car history to date - Datsun Sunny Fiat Uno Austin Maestro Alfa Romeo 33 Cloverleaf Honda Integra Type-R Lotus Elise S1 135 VW Golf GTI Lotus Elise S2 111R Alfa Romeo 156 Alfa Romeo 147 Don't think I've missed anything.
Yeah facebook has turned into a horrible place, all I used to see were ladbible posts which were on reddit 2 weeks previously and people liking Britain First posts. Unfortunately I can't bring myself to delete my account. Facebook for chat, I don't even log on to facebook I just have messenger on my phone which was a great move. Twitter to keep up with new music and dank memes Instagram for the laydiez
Oh man another Alfa fan ... I've only had one, a 156 when they first came over as a company car (not sure I could have bought one back then with my own money) and the wife really wants one now, a Julietta. Mine: Vauxhall Chevette 1.3 Sport Hatchback - white - called Shirley Peugeot 504 Saloon 1.8 - Navy Blue - Peggy Peugeot 205 5 door hatch - Burgundy - no name (only had her a short while before getting my first company car) (Company Cars) Fiesta 1.6 Diesel - Horrible Beige/Cream - no name Sierra 1.6 Saloon - Burgundy - Sally Vauxhall Astra 1.6 hatchback - Red - Annie Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6L - Red - no name Rover 1.4 Diesel (can't remember the model) - Navy blue - Rover Golf GTI 2.0 petrol - Burgundy Golf GTI 2.0 petrol - Dusty Mauve (yes that was the official colour) - Dusty Golf GTI 2.0 Colour Concept - Yellow (interior and exterior - yes!!) - Hannah Bannana Alfa Romeo 156 1.8 - Silver - Alfie Mercedes C180 - Silver - Maggie Volkswagen Sharan 2.0 Diesel - Silver - yes, Sharon (back to own cars) Honda CRV 2.0 Petrol - Silver - "KP" Volkswagen Touran 1.9 Diesel - Blue - Katie Volkswgen Touran 2.0 Diesel - Silver - "okk" Honda Accord 2.2 Diesel D-tech - Silver
Never been interested in cars (apart from having one), but wish I had kept my first....Wolseley 1500, black with walnut trim inside. UWV 33....where are you?
Ah lovely car! It's funny you saying "where are you" - I often wonder where the second Lotus went (I adored that car). The guy I sold it to (on Ebay!) came down to get it and hesitated saying "it's very low down" - umm...yeah.... I was very unsure he'd even have got home in it...
That's tough. I loved the Chevette - first car is always special Hannah Banana the yellow golf was a site to behold and having a Bright yellow Golf GTI for a company car as a 28 year old was something else Loved the Alfa -she purred Probably these three
Ah, I have always had a love affair with the Alfa but never owned one. Now I could afford one am thinking instead of a Renault capture, is that wrong? After my Opel I had a Niissan Bluebird that went on for years and years and years until some chaves nicked it and burnt it out. VW crossover at the moment but time for a change.
Mine is 15 years old now but still runs great (touch wood). It's a good small car, but the modern cars are going to be better. I think the Giulietta isn't quite as good as it should be, but is a more charismatic alternative to something like a Golf. If you're thinking larger second hand car, the 159s look great and drive beautifully.
I had a 147 absolutely loved it till the injection pump packed up and that was it swore i'd never have an Alfa again, i've got a Lexus IS 200 now and its a lovely drive but not as powerful as the 147.
My love and hate list: Mini 850 - the purple panther Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6 BL Montego 1.6 Rover 216 (the worst car in this list) Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0 (245,000 miles when I bought it, never a falter) Honda CB125 Suzuki GT500 Honda VF500F Yamaha FJ1200 (150,000 miles in two years) Ford Granada Ghia 2.8 (12mpg with the aircon on) Ford Fiesta Ford Mondeo 1.6 Ford Mondeo 1.8 diesel Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0 Ford Fiesta Mazda 626 2.0 Mazda Xedos 9 (only saw one other person driving one in two years - he did a real, genuine double take) Vauxhall Omega 2.5 Jaguar S Type 2.5 (the best car in this list) Ford Mondeo 2.0 That's a lot of money I've sloshed around the economy! Vin
19 year old Renault Clio 1.2 Versailles 'Special Edition' - £250 bargain drives perfectly (struggles above 45mph and up any hill though)
We all love the work you do for our predictor league, but if you take this step there maybe some drastic action needed and a boycott f your game
