This post may offend but:

I once opened the bonnet of my mothers leon after it "started funny"
To find a cat had crawled into the engine bay and thought it would sleep there, nasty horrible sight.
And the cleaning was not easy.

On another note, please don't snow, I've being looking forward to a spin down the country all week.

PS not to murder cats

YUCK @ the cat.

Enjoy your trip

Was watching breaking bad last night, big meet up of all the drug cartel heads. Next thing, briefly flashes on screen a few times - what did I just see?
De Tomaso Pantera. I have no idea how such an obscure car stayed in my memory, and how I was able to name it while ladies in bikinis dashed around it.

So far, so "cool story bro", but what it reminded me of was a (very) little slice of "de tomaso" action that was available on donedeal lately

In fairness, that yoke would be good craic I'd say!
Fairly random, but I don't think I know anyone IRL who would have ever heard of a De Tomaso, so I said I'd throw it out here...

I've seen one more than once. Also what has that DD ad got to do with a De Tomaso?

I think its like a certain hinge. But they are supposed to cost a lot to be put in. Do not want!

Knowing me I'd walk into the fecking thing, or wallop my head off it.

The alfa has no car door handles, a year and a half later I still giggle when people can't figure out how to open the door

Are these five door civics with the handle as part of the window like on a 156?

colm_mcm

Yeah, it's on the plastic bit. Not like on the seat Leon though which has a bubble in the glass behind the door

Mine's different, it just has the keyhole, then once you've unlocked it you depress that button to open the door. Standard spec.

exactly so.

very hard to see in the dark too. Although I cant understand why people cant see an actual back door like all the lines and all

The 156 backdoors were the same in the dark if people didn't know what they were looking for.
