I once got told by the Peugeot main dealer parts bloke that he didn't have any of the bits I wanted because my 306 was "quite uncommon" and then when I looked at him in bewilderment he got confused and asked if the 306 was the 4X4 model that they did.
Very strange.
i presume it wasn't... Very strange.

I think he must have been helping out in a department that wasn't his as he didn't have a clue. All i wanted was window clips.
Colleagues were I work.
Why do you have a box in your boot with various tools and car related kit like, compressed pump, jump leads, oil etc.
Your just some weird car bore.
Sometime in the future...
Oh my car has a flat tyre, battery or run dry of oil can assist me knowing you have the necessary kit in your car and I have failed to be prepared as only car geeks do that.

The amount of gear you cart around is directly proportional to your own perceived likelihood of breaking down 
My old car even has a supply of electricians' tape, scissors, cable ties in the glovebox, as well as jump leads, toolkit, spare etc in the boot
The fckwits I see scraping their windscreen with a credit card - come on people, it's winter. Buy a proper car scraper and/or some deicer FFS!

I can't believe someone using a bank card to scrape their windows upsets you enough that you'd post about it on the internet tbh My old car even has a supply of electricians' tape, scissors, cable ties in the glovebox, as well as jump leads, toolkit, spare etc in the boot The fckwits I see scraping their windscreen with a credit card - come on people, it's winter.

I was speaking to a colleague at work this morning that had to scrape the ice of her car before setting off. She used a CD case as that’s all she had to hand and at this point she gets a call from the MIL asking how she can get the ice off of the windscreen. The colleague says “use a CD like I did” and the mother in law replies with “I don’t want to damage my Olly Murs CD, it’ll bend and could scratch the CD”
Technically not too bad but most people would realise she means the case and not the actual CD.

While I was waiting in the barbers today 2 yoofs were talking about their learning to drive experiences. They seemed like nice lads and quite sensible. They were taking about cars and one said how his boss "took me out in him Bee Emm" then commented how fast it was. T'other lad said that those had fuel injection or something which was why they were so fast.
