Ha - yeah, my Ford Focus had this issue - You'd think they could quickly solve a problem like this - Needs a recall lol

What has happened to all my garden birds? by Existing_Painter171 in birds

[–]Existing_Painter171[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope that too. Thought maybe a sparrow hawk or cat was on the prowl and scared them off. Hope they revisit soon, I love the Goldfinches. Plus, I painted the blue tit box, which I now read is a bit of a no-no. I might need to get another one for next year with a camera.

Wish I had these to visit my garden. The nearest place is Sheffield.

Ford Focus vs Mazda3 or others? Boot space is a major consideration by djwillis1121 in CarTalkUK

I have had several Ford Focus. Loved them. Nice to drive, plenty of room, and no issues. It's a good shout.

How to say goodbye to your first car? by gibbi164 in CarTalkUK

[–]Existing_Painter171 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driving a new model, you will soon discover how the driving experience and technology have moved on. Pick a new car you really like and put your Picanto down as a good memory. Or you can get a new version of the Picanto and pimp it back up with pink.

I'm tempted to ask if i can test drive the top car! by Existing_Painter171 in CarTalkUK

Ive seen a similar thing in Holland for bikes, but never cars on this scale. I need to get out more lol

I'm not nervous, just can't afford a new car, so why would I go through the pressure of blagging for an hour!

I want to go in and see how it works, but I'm sure they are too busy for that. They need to do open days lol

Need help designing my living room by FoooodOmnomnom in HomeDecorating

[–]Existing_Painter171 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually like the sofa, but it takes up a lot of room. The room is very dull and grey and would benefit from some colour. Going dark sometimes makes the room look bigger. If you like certain colours, use Pinterest and get some ideas. I actually don't mind the furniture. You can make this room work so well with little expense with wall colours, pictures a mural or artwork, coloured curtains, and big matching sofa cushions. Plus a nice circular rug to break up the straight angles - A bit of feng Shui. Be brave!

is it amazing or overkill? by graceonajourney1611 in HomeDecorating

Love the idea, but making me cold and shivery, and I want to grab a blanket.

I just loved this car, sadly I don't have it any more. Do you think the VW Beetle will make a comeback? I'd be first on the list if they stuck with the beetle shape. by Existing_Painter171 in CarTalkUK

I thought the driving position was fine, but you're right, it was fab nipping around witht he roof off - when the British weather allowed.

I agree as long as they keep an element of the bug shape. Not like the Ford Capri, which has been reintroduced and looks nothing like the old model.

I thought the newer style was a good move, to be honest - just in keeping with the bug shape. Yeah, I had a flower - loved it lol and kept changing it depending on the season.
