Actually, not even being able to spell it ranks higher.

You got me. My spelling's generally good, it's my fat-fingered typing that's the problem.

I share your pain friend, I share your pain.

Getting old and the arthritis catches up with me some days.

Leaving your Mk4 Astra 'coupe', with Staffie, parked at a petrol pump whilst you stuff yourself with a footlong at Subway.

Bonus points for abusing the staff when they ask you to move to a parking space.

Does walking along a busy road, being identically clad in light grey jogging suits with matching baseball caps whilst having your arm down the back of your bird's bottoms count?

Double points if both parties are female?

Probably already been discussed but ... Chrysler,

Especially following the Council chav giving me the bird whilst ignoring the give way to ongoing traffic sign resulting in a scuffed alloy and flat 255-35-20 tyre

Neon = Flat broke no money council
300 = Fat bloke no penis council
Voyager = With penis no control council

Hmm, public lack of manners, yes. I don't think we should open the potential Pandora's box of homosexuality being council or not

Putting your kids in the food part of the shopping trolley instead of the child seats is council, I saw a couple in Sainsburys this afternoon with two trolleys, one for the food and one for their kids

We had one of those in Florida as a hire car several years ago, same colour too
It was good in Florida There a bit quirky bit like new VW Beetles, not for everyone.

Those Corsa based mini Jeep things seem to becoming the parent-and-child space/motability cars of choice round here, so give them a few years to become ex-lease and I reckon they will be featuring in volume 3.

Vauxhall Mokka?

Not that it matters, but they're not based on the Corsa. GM Gamma II platform, which is a GM Korea platform (formerly known as Daewoo). Vauxhall Viva is on that platform


(I agree thought that they're definitely a car for this thread. All of those supermini SUV things are. The Ford EcoSport and Vauxhall Mokka in particular)

I thought he was refering to the Jeep Renegade.

[Jimmy Recard]

Good point, I forgot about those. Are they based on the Punto/Corsa platform?

I saw one of these st boxes yesterday, I thought it was steam powered judging by the amount of smoke coming from the tiny crack of window the driver had left open.
Turns out the driver was just vaping, most of which was filling the interior, still his unrestrained kids on the back didn't seem to mind too much.

I also saw a taxi sporting a sticker advertising its company name & number running the full width of the windscreen just above the wipers.

Looks like it.

We had one about 10 years ago to drive from San Francisco to LA and it was fine, but over here they are not good at all. The turning circle is only slightly smaller than the USS Nimitz.

Think I read they share a platform with the Fiat 500L on here somewhere.
No idea if that is the same as the punto/corsa

I was. It shares a platform with loads of Fiat/Vauxhall stuff, which has a really catchy name like "small car platform" or something.

Just let me confirm ... Is calling your 70 year old mum council ...two weeks before mothers day .. council?
May I suggest booking a mothers day meal at your local Toby to make up for this faux pas

From the pictures, they both look incredibly hard work.
