French cars quite like French people. They go on strike when you least expect it

Mine doesn't stop.

It keeps going and going and going. Even wit the gearbox stuck and the engine throwing an ignition fault and something not quite right in the front suspension it JUST KEEPS CRAWLING ALONG REFUSING TO DIE.

It's like a Grandparent that refuses to die and keeps sucking up valuable money by not being near-dead enough to be worth pulling the plug on and replacing for a newer model.

And it's comfy.

I just pictured a semi dead dog crawling along the ground to get to some food....

Perhaps Peugeot can change from the Lion to a semi dead dog ?

I never checked the date for the meet and I was in Portlaoise today at half 1 wondering where everyone was until I checked the thread..:o:o

Ah, though you drove 450km each way to get there, that woulda been nasty! (and probably impossible on this island).

Will you make it up next week? I mean I really want to point and laugh, that's nearly as good as another user who turned up late to another meet and ended up shooting the sh1t with the guys from biker.ie for half an hour before he twigged he was at the wrong meet

Not quite as good as the BGRHer who joined the wrong group at a meet up in a pub They have a an identification ritual over there now if you go to a meet

Just realised I've a medical appointment next Sat. (forgot about it) so won't be going to Portlaoise. And my car is going for its nct on Friday so I'll probably be in a state of terminal depression

And I've forgotten what book I had in the motor tax office taxing my car, so I can't remember where I left my logbook and insurance :eek:

MugMugs

I admire your style... Need Logbook.... Now what book was I reading that day!

It'd be an easy task for me with my fancy pancy kindle now

Jaysus, bet -Corkie- feels better now

I might have dealt with some of the cosmetics by then, but my excuse is that it's my first car "project"!

It's basically a load of nerd meeting up in a car park and making jokes about things that happened online.

Plus food.

Great fun :P

Ha!! It's Gary ITRs fault I am confused, not me going mad

To be fair, I thought it was next weekend too until I looked at a calendar yesterday....

You have me thinking it's next week

Stheno

The confusion is too much.

Anyone know if Confab would fit in the back of an Alfa Gtv?

Am thinking of heading down with the OH (Who has NO appreciation of cars) and sending him off to lunch with my mother (they get on famously!) and bringing confab.

Suppose I could always stash the OH in the back? What say you confab?

The first person to tell me the variator is shot will be given the look of death

I thought I only had two weeks till payday for some reason, and I get paid on the 25th so I presumed it was next weekend.....obviously I was wrong!!

I dunno, last time I saw Confab he was a little tubby around the middle.....but I suppose now that he has an Alfa he spends his days walking everywhere so he's probably lost weight....:pac:

The Oh is only tiny so he'll fit in the back with some negotiation, why do you think Confab has shrunk having acquired an alfa.
