I'm not being overtaken by a ten year old Skoda! *$X&^>
Stonesie replied to Andy ap's topic in Off Topic Chat
My old barge was excellent chav bait, F reg BMW estate in white, looked standard but lowered, even had a quiet exhaust and tow bar.... And a 206bhp/185lb:ft 2.8 six force feeding a limited slip diff, I think the 316i Badge helped. -
Reported again, maybe if they get a mountain of reports about the same item they will take it down, or inform Essex Police to see if they would like a chat with the seller.

Surely I can't be the only one with a numpty for a girlfriend?
Stonesie replied to niceyellow vrs's topic in Off Topic Chat
The ex once came home a bit excited "I've seen the perfect car for us, it was gorgeous, perfection on wheels" Sounds great, what was it? A blue one.... Laughing was a bad move but I couldn't help it -
Might as well submit the toy bike The cars Citrus Yellow... looks Green to me though http://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/547503_10151624671028436_971947970_n.jpg

I can't decide if it's nice or not to know that most dealers are the same, when I got mine a basic service they wanted £250 for front discs and pads because of a ridge in the disc... It's less than 0.5mm round the outer edge and the pads look nearly new. No! thanks.

The Rapid: First Impressions
Stonesie replied to Jonesy92's topic in Skoda Rapid & Spaceback (2012 > )
That's very much on a par with my Leon diesel... Not making my decision on my next car any easier. -
Isn't it funny (and two-faced) of everyone.........
Stonesie replied to Brimma's topic in Off Topic Chat
I have always used it in a light harted way, the Halfords Professional tools are excellent and much cheaper than other lifetime warranty brands, never had a problem exchanging a broken tool either and I've only ever broken cracker bars. -
People pulling out on me and then barely moving, 10~15 in a 40 is taking the.... The worst was a 'all the gear, no idea' cyclist AKA Lycra Lout... Looked straight at me then wobbled down the road, the git was all over the place. I feel I must reveal that I'm a bus driver, one of the nice ones though and I was in a white/pink/blue double decker at the time, maybe I should get something bigger so they can see me
-
RE the Fascia, Google led me straight back to Here Or they are on on Ebay for quite a mark-up... Dear me, not even ordered one yet and I'm figuring out mods
-
And there I was, all set to spec up a citigo and now it turns out I could get a rapid se for about the same...
-
The MINI is built in Oxford, think Honda still have a factory in the UK too, and there's lotus. Probably more.
-
I've had that one, when he asked if I had any questions I replied "just one, does your phone do this?" And hung up... I got a prank call shortly after, can't think who that could have been...
-
Same here, I do carry passengers in the back occasionally so 5 door is the way to go, I wouldn't consider it to add much value at trade-in/sale time though.
-
I've seen a fair few Up's. 3 Citigo's And 1 Mii, always at night but those rear lights are distinctive.

Went to Barnsley seat today, unimpressed... Salesman was talking utter drivel and then offered way below what I would ever accept for the Leon (5.5K for a 51K 59plate car with FSH and in good condition) and tied to sell me a used example for £800 more than a higher spec brand new one (both toca's but the new one had citysafe*... and free insurance so probably another £2-300 right there) Although I do prefer the red dial illumination. * Salesman kept insisting it was lane assist but refused to check the cars spec.
-
Not much, at work I've seen it all, on the bike I'm used to the idea that 98% of car drivers are as bright as a blown bulb and will probably try to kill me so I have to try to allow for them. I do hate people driving on the side/fog lights at night, and aftermarket hid kits in reflector headlights.
-
I'm wondering what Superchips will come up with as I like the idea of the Bluefin unit. Onto the question, after experiencing 2 SEAT dealer's and being unimpressed with either I am thinking the Skoda will be my choice... Todays seat salesman wanted to give me 5.5K for a 59 plate Leon with 51K miles and also tried to get me interested in a 2K mile demonstrator TOCA for 9995, when a brand new one is 9149 at the moment with added Citysafe, which he tried to convince me was 'lane assist' and a years free insurance...

Without reading all 35 pages I hope this is not a re-post but there is a quad bike that I have seen a few times at Squires (biker orientated pub/coffee place in Sherburn) which is, TO55 ERS
-
Not as yet, I didn't think there was much point pursuing it that far until I had a chat worth the the bank manager about digging the leon out of negative equity. I could do that within days if i could bring myself to sell my 'Toy' (http://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/299828_10150441252198436_1007739298_n.jpg) bigger pic than I thought, but it's also the reason I don't really want a fast car... Fun, with gadgets to keep my inner child amused will do for me, and cheap running costs to help me get more bike time will be nice too.
-
That's good to know, I may well do that depending on how the chat with the bank manager goes next week, something about ppi I have been a bit lost on my browsing, found a thread by BossFox and I'm up to page 28...

Hi folks, I' Matt from Doncaster and I'm here for a good look around, at the moment I drive a yellow-ish-green Seat Leon but things have changed and I now need to reduce costs so I am looking at the Citigo and Mii as I can have a new one on PCP for much less then I'm paying for the Leon (for some reason I don't fancy the Up, strange as they're all the same underneath). I like the look of this site, so with that I'm off for a browse
