  1. Can't you persuade her to buy a sensible car with (1) front wheel drive and (2) a boot big enough for more than a handbag?
  2. I notice the product is "unavailable right now" on the Halfrauds web site.
  3. Willie Thorne used to have A 147 PRO but that was a long time ago (Mercedes S class IIRC)
  4. Best fuel economy implies the maximum miles per pound cash. The volume of fuel you use is utterly irrelevant. If there were a magic fuel that gave you double the mpg but cost two and a half times as much per litre, you would be wasting your money.
  5. And on green bins generally (which where I live means garden and food waste), how much landfill space do you think there would be if we didn't recycle whenever possible? Where woud you like the (unsorted) waste put so you don't have to deal with it?
  6. Before some folk start banging on about how terrible the bin collectors are, I suggest they spend just half a day riding in the cab of a bin lorry and see what they have to put up with on a daily basis. I did it last year and it's a real eye opener.
  7. Anthracite, if I'm not mistaken - same as my MY12 Elegance.
  8. No DRLs. The parking lights are at the top of the headlamp clusters (well, one is at the moment).
  9. My FL Octy Elegance has Xenon headlights. Bulb failure warning has just popped up on Maxidot -- sure enough, LH front parking light is out. Not a major problem, but the yellow warning light is a bit annoying. Owner's manual says it's a dealer job to replace the parking light bulb, presumably because it's a light cluster out job and the xenons have to be set up correctly afterwards. Am I right, and should I just resign myself to sitting in the dealer's waiting area for an hour while they fix it?
  10. You need a sense of humour to drive a Nissan Joke, apparently.
  11. It was a lot cheaper for the council to pay up than to fight him. Also a lot cheaper to carry on using strong adhesive to prevent other chancers from claiming the ticket blew away.
  12. I hope your attention to the road is better than your attention to spelling.
  13. I question whether this basic lack of courtesy correlates with age. It doesn't in Manchester.
