Latest Moan From You and Me 2024

I've got 2 peuots a 405 + 306 standing in the drive dew to cost's they need some work to get them back on the road

 

Just tried LV for insurance and they came out at well over £100 more than my renewal from Hastings direct, fed up looking now so might as well pay up.

 

It's the cost of running them, insurane + Tax
The 306 only 1 carefull lady owner + 36000 on the clock

 

I got my daughter to disable all the bells and whistles on my current car. The one that flashed to 'let me know someone was overtaking' was the real bugbear. Right in your eyeline, just where the mirrors are anyway. What's that about?
I remember saying that to the bloke when he told me about it - all excited because it was clearly a great idea...or so he thought. He cooled down when I said 'isn't that what my mirrors are for?'
The stupid thing kept malfunctioning too- going onwhen I went round corners or on narrow glen roads - with no other traffic anywhere near me.

The reversing noises etc do my head in as well, so they're gone. I'd managed to disable that one myself, but I never spent enough time when I was in the car, footering with all the stupid additions, so daughter was very useful.
Car would have been about 5 or 6 grand cheaper if they'd just left all the cr*p off it.

 

I had thought of one of those at the time I bought this @Fat Controller .
The problem was - it didn't have a CD player. That was about the only thing I really wanted!

The heated seats are handy though...

 

Indeed. My first car was an Avenger. I got it from someone I worked with - it was his mother's and hadn't been used much, but it was really old. It didn't last long though, and I had to buy a new car. I had several Fiats, and they were brillliant wee cars.
My current car has a heated windscreen and that's certainly very useful. Saves the whole - 'putting a cover on every night' malarkey through winter.

 

I think Volvos had heated seat long before other cars, i might be wrong, just remember my BiL having them in the 80s on his Volvo.
My old Mondeo had heated and cooled seats, although I could never see the point in the UK.

I was under the impression that the heated windscreen was a ford thing and had a patent on it but Jaguar was able to use it because they had a connection with Ford at some point.

 

Dunno about heated seats. Got a lift from one of our sons the other day and suddenly a strange warm feeling began to spread beneath me on the seat. I might be old but…
