Sorry, but you lose just for that statement

Sorry, why?

There's a reason just about every Police force in the land use them, you know.

I see you're new around here. What do you drive?

I have no problem...I'd bet that far fewer people are away from home during office hours in 2011 than in 2001, FWIW. Maybe there's a market for private local collection hubs which will take in parcels during the day and stay open until late for people to collect them?

Same as any recession where people lose their jobs I suppose. But the basic point is sound - more people are out during the day now than in previous generations. I agree, there probably is a good market for that kind of service. If only I had a big enough garage...

I wasn't thinking about recession and joblessness, they are less likely to be ordering bulky items online aren't they? I was thinking about the higher percentage of people working from home these days.

Renault Laguna

Had to sell my previous car, a Focus ST when my ex ran off taking most of 'our' money with her..grrr

[Flip Martian]

I suppose so. Perhaps it depends what circles you move in - I don't know anyone who works from home, so not something I would think about.

Astrologers

Specifically the braindead parasites of the 'Astrological Association of Great Britain' who want the BBC to apologise for remarks made by Brian Cox and Dara O'Briain on Stargazing Live. If they could demonstrate a single provable instance of astrology actually working then maybe they would have a case, but as they can't then they should cease wasting oxygen. Simply parasites feeding on the credulous

Why is it strange. He's just demonstrating that most Octavias apart from his are quite reliable cars.

Hahaha....I know...fair play

[Cock Womble 7]

Drivers (usually, it has to be said, of Nissan Micras) who can't grasp the concept that travelling uphill will require an increased depression of the accelerator pedal in order to maintain a constant speed against the forces of gravity.


Yes, diddering old biddy on the A5 North of Dunstable earlier today, I'm referring to you. Your speed of 50mph on the flat I could accept, but slowing to 35mph on the hills really, really pissed me off.

As a professional driver, I would never even consider using my vehicle as a weapon; but, by God, you brought me close.

Indeed but most cars are quite reliable though aren't they?

I like Octavia's it was just a strange justification, not that one was needed.

aholes who say 'me, personally, I....'.
Football aholes who utter 'week in, week out' when 'every week' would suffice.
Chewing gum stuck on the pavement - use a bin, aholes. How hard can it be?

As you were....

40 mph along a national speed limit section of dry, clear, smooth road on a sunny day is not being safe, it is being slow, to then slow to 18mph while we go through a main road town with a 40mph limit is being VERY slow. To then speed up to 40 once we are out of the town is good but when we get to the dual carriageway a mile later you DO NOT need to get straight into the right hand lane and sit there at 40. you are overtaking NOTHING, you are holding everybody up, there is no roundabout for another mile so WHY ARE YOU OUT THERE ?

Do not then give me a filty look and a shake of the head when I come up your inside as we approach the roundabout, where the arrows are in the road, where I am allowed to filter to turn left or go straight on and you can finally fk off to B&Q and buy some overpriced nails and a tester pot of puke green to see if it goes with the furry toys on the parcel shelf and the cd/smelly/dreamcatcher suspended in a dangly dance of stinky vision obscuring tat from your rear view mirror, a clue in itself as to what the fking thing is for you slow articles of mediocrity.

I bet you went and inserted the dreadful Diahatsu placenta (with its 23feet of headroom) in a disabled space at a jaunty angle, I bet the fking car is a motobility car because you once had a funny twinge and it felt "bad doctor" I bet you lived a life of no work, skiving and generally malingering expecting the rest of the population to support you and your feckless brood. I expect Asda deliver blue pop and findus crispy pancakes to your door and the neighbours are heartly sick of your tiny car taking up 8 spaces because you have a disabled space and you still don't use it.

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.

GET OUT OF MY WAY YOU fkING IDIOTS.

My point was that they were obviously chosen by the Police for covert speed and apparent reliability. That our new chum still subscribes to some sort of 1980s joke book about Skodas is fairly humorous though, especially when he drives a very similar type of car.

In fact, his previous choice would probably stack up quite well against a remapped Octavia I would think - similar power/weight, wrong wheel drive and epic understeer? Sounds about even.

Did Allegros have "Covert speed and apparent reliability" too?
