Help me choose the right car!???

Morpheus

Got my new Stilo

looks like this....

Sounds stupid i know, but are you supposed to take your mats out of the old car and stick em in the new one or what?!

I got

A. No owners manual, ive to get it next week or whenever.

B. No mats, and i left my punto ones in the punto... maybe i shouldve taken them with me.

anyways, its nice, quiet, drives real smooth, almost everything i expected, found a cluster of wires under the drivers seat that werent properly stowed away, but i checked passenger side and the same set is on that side stowed away properly, so i corrected the drivers side to match.

Found ash in the ashtray, not impressed, means it didnt get a proper valet, and THIS from a dealer or should i say *cough* "stealer" *cough*.

I really really dislike smoking in cars, and my seats will get a proper valet as soon as possible, because when the new car smell wears off, i dont want the smoke fragrance coming back to haunt me!

Should have been the final part of the negotiating process after you've already done the deal more or less: mats, new tyres, service, valet, full tank, free AA cover, free first service, etc..

Good luck with your new car m8, just hope your behaviour on motorways will change for the better

whats that supposed to mean!!

Forgotton already?

Morpheus

nope, i remember now, but TBH i just dont like people breaking the speed limit, i wont carry on like this, but dont expect me to speed up over the limit if im overtaking just because you come up behind me in the middle of my manoeuvre and are going a bit faster than me, ill complete the job at 70 and then move over, and then proceed to take your number plate and report it to the traffic cops. :dunno:

Perfect

If someone is still tailgating / flashing you, he IS a wanker...
... or a doctor in an emergency, an unmarked patrol car or what not

At least you've done your bit m8

Doctors have no special right to exceed the speed limit emergency or no emergency

Unmarked patrol cars have sirens for that job, you get out of the way, not speed up. When unmarked cars drive up your arse, it's because they are being lazy and want you to speed so they can pull you over.

For your budget you should be able to get a 3DR new model corolla

Immature. Shouldn't be on the road. Too many people like thinking what you do is right and above the law. You create dangerous situations rather than avoiding them I'm sorry to say.

You wanna report someone for overtaking at a speed higher than you, cos effectively that's what you're saying...

Another ****ing child in a €49 a week Fiat, that's all we need. May you grow up (i.e. beyond 24) to be an accountant...lol.

How?

by overtaking at 70 which is the speed limit??? I said that I retract my statement about holdng up a speeder, ive never done this before, i wont ever do it, ive said that really, all i know that i would do is to report them for speeding, ive already done it 4 times in the last year, as have lots of people in my area.

Remember this next time you speed through the swords balbriggan area.

If im already overtaking someone doing 60-65 and you fly up behind me and i dont accelerate faster than 70 (while still overtaking) and then complete my overtaking, and then pull in and while im doing 70 in the left hand line, you proceed to break the speed limit instead of pulling in behind me and travelling at 70, and you overtake me at 80 miles per hour?

You wanna report someone for overtaking at a speed higher than you, cos effectively that's what you're saying...

Damn right i do, what gives you the right to speed by me at more than my 70mph and break the limit? f*ck you for thinking your ABOVE the law by speeding, ill take pleasure in reporting you and reducing our roads by one speeder less.

Im thrilled your a big shot who can afford a decent car. I work in I.T. Im saving to go to Australia in the next 2 years so it suits me to finance the car until i decide to sell it and head over, i like Fiats.

Im more mature than you think mate. I already have 3 years no claims and a full licence. May you grow up to obey the law.

Why not go for a 1.2 Skoda fabia you will get all the e/w,e/m, r/c/l etc great little car and you could get a 03 for about 12k ?? I drive one and I have modded it to the hilt and is a great car and basically a vw

Morpheus

Heres a car exactly like the one ive bought

Wrestlemania

that is quite nice actually

Do you have the Active or Active Sound model? Active Sound has alloys and a better stereo AFAIK.

I think the 15" alloys on the 1.2 litre cars look a bit puny though. The 1.6 litre cars have 16" alloys which look better in my opinion.

Morpheus

Only Active, the stereo is pretty cool though, 6 speakers bass, treble and a cd player, enough to keep me happy.

I havent got the alloys, so that was a fib, but ill prob pick up a set of 16s in the next while.

need a new steering lock, my old one from the punto
wont fit properly, the steering wheel is the wrong shape!! A must have because lots of cars are beng stolen around my area lately, (albeit that they prob wont take a stilo) and in general break in and take the keys from the houses at night because muppets are leaving them in the hall near the front door, or on a window sill where the oportunistic thieves can see them.
