  1. 14k for a basic Corsa? Makes the Fabia VRS seem even more of a bargain!

      And they're a piece of *bleep*

  2. 3 more days in work then helping my cousin. It's still working but far more enjoyable. Hoping that job I applied for get back to me for an interview

  3. After finding out how much mattresses are I think I'll buy a sleeping bag instead

      Thankfully I only need a single mattress. One of the springs went yesterday. Thinking about memory foam next

      One of the springs went eh? nudge nudge wink wink. Nice work!

      I wish that was the case. Just woke up with a spring sticking in my leg

  4. Am I allowed to say I don't like the Rapid Spaceback without someone having a go?

      How can you not like it? shocking!

      It's good on fuel I'll give it that but the 1.6 TDI is underpowered, handling numb and too light, brakes have no feel and ABS kicks in way too easily.

  5. And now the waiting begins. Answered everything fully but the more you think there's always more I could have said.

      Me too, I know you've been looking for something for a bit and you certainly have the right attitude.

  6. Another on left at work, now down to two. The other is on holiday for a week meaning I'm on my own. May have to take drastic action to get out while I can. Don't want to be the last one left :(

      I do have options at least. Some are last resorts but some in the long term could be quite good. Work in a shop, run pretty much all of it while maintaining websites, stock levels, dealing with customers, etc

      WHen you are the last one left... ask for a pay rise. ;)

      I will be lol. Mate of mine, one who left a few months ago says there's a job going there. It's on phones to customers but is 1st line support so it would be a start. Not sure if I want to handle lots of customers but it's 9-5.30, more pay than now and weekends off. Lots of plus points

  7. Anyone want Wales rugby tickets? Sinclair Skoda have a competition on their FB page. I'd enter but I'm working when the game is on

  8. Been a fairly good week so far. Found a flat and started taking several things to the next stage. Next few months have potential to be great

      Good going Martyn, things beginning to look up for you. Good luck with it all.

      There are some challenges but I think will be pretty enjoyable. Been a long time since I've had so much on the go a once

      For being unable to suffer fools gladly, what else? People talk about hings without having the faintest, then when this is pointed out to them in a very civil and polite manner they start getting nasty, throw toys out of the pram andstart calling names. When somebody unprovoked spits at me I floor them, end of :)

      Just use the ignore function and chill out. Works for me.

      Oh, I am a big fan of ignore function :D

  10. Bonkers week so far. Got an interview in a few hours too

      Good luck Martyn, touched wood for you dude!

  11. Bored in work. Been in Ammanford 3 days straight it's like solitary confinement!

      They do already lol. Always see 11 years olds drinking cans of Bow on the streets on my way home. At least it's a better drive home than out of Swansea.

  12. Briskoda, dont ever change. There's one or two people who wind me up but on the whole a friendly place to be.

  13. Bugger. Found out why I've had sensitive teeth recently. There's a big hole in my wisdom tooth. Will be the 3rd I'll have to have out

  14. Can't remember the tyre size for my Mk2 Fabia vRS. I would go out and check but I'm in work and the car isn't near

      ....and it's raining too at a guess.....?

    2. Coops

      17" wheels? 205/40?

  15. Can't wait to go back to a manual. DSG is fast but far too lazy. The future is safe but I want to enjoy manuals while I can

  16. Car cleaned, probably last time until Christmas or even this year. Good to see the Collinite still beading well

  17. Car passed MOT. Testing a potential replacement later

  18. Fabia vRS's first MOT tomorrow

    1. BossFox

      BossFox

      Three years already!

    2. MartynVRS

      MartynVRS

      Yeah it's flown. It's been good but I need to start thinking of a replacement after Winter.

  19. failed_promise? Who is this? Trying to add me on Twitter

  20. Feeling fed up. Know what needs to be done but ain't going to happen any time soon

    1. grr666

      grr666

      Fed up with what Martyn?

    2. MartynVRS

      MartynVRS

      Lots of things lol. Job mainly and lots of things I want to do need money like moving out. Job search continues

  21. Finally have usable internet. Only 6mb but better than nothing

    1. Sparkly

      Sparkly

      Certainly better than that 2mb that feeds my entrie street : /

  22. Found the Ignore list. This should help :)

  23. Found the Renault forums are pretty childish too and pretty miserable. There's nowhere like Briskoda

      This was the RenaultSport Megane forum too. Just asking questions on what they were like. Not changing any time soon but want to know what my options are. Took days to get the first response then realised it was in the wrong section. No mod moved it so I made another thread to be told I'd already asked once. Got a few answers, not great ones and not in good grammar either. Apparently the Megane's can't have roof racks put on as it voids insurance. If that's the case I may as w...

      The Alfa Owners forum is pretty good. Although you do get some idiots on there, but that said you have them on all forums :D

      Briskoda is tops for me.

  24. FREEDOM renewed. Wonder how much of it I'll get to use

  25. Frustrating when you get to a good thread after it's been locked. Always the same lol

      Care to send me a pm with which one?
