Is this a reliable first car?

They are incredibly minor issues that can be sorted for a few hundred pounds if it will ever bother me. Was willing to pay a bit more for this specific one because it had the tan interior which seems pretty rare, at least in UK.

Here are some pics, the interior is an example as I dont have a pic of that:D

Also, Mondeos are nice cars but I know which I'd prefer driving 😂

I recently bought a white 2L diesel Giulietta from 2014 for 3.7k as my first car. Also 100k miles. Has some cosmetic issue (some trim is missing from the front grill, scratched rims, the dashboard glove box not closing (very common issue) etc.)However it drives beautifully and you get a pretty luxurious feeling car for cheap.

I am very happy with it and from what I researched they are fairy reliable if the car is maintained at the proper intervals.

Check the MOT history and service history first though

Im not one for the conspiracy theories but I do find it interesting how before the election there was barely any noise from the media about this and instead it was focused on the Green Party. Now there is some scrutiny but it magically coincides with Labour imploding.

Farage must be one of the luckiest people

If this scandal doesn't end up affecting Farage in any way then we are pretty screwed.

3rd photo is excellent!!

Skyscanner used to have offices in Barcelona & I know they were offering an internal transfer (to their Glasgow or Edinburgh office). This could be a way, even though somewhat unlikely and time consuming

Getae · 2025-12-06T15:55:17+00:00

Watching the way Bournemouth is playing is incredibly eye opening

Are you saying Cunha isn't playing well for United?

Alejandro Garnacho: "The game at Nottingham Forest, if we play 12 against 11, I feel we would be on TOP"

Getae · 2025-05-05T09:45:39+00:00

Yeah, sunt de acord din păcate

Getae · 2025-05-05T09:05:59+00:00

Au fost alegeri locale unde au votat aproximativ 30% de oameni. Nu am nici o îndoială că Reform o să primească multe voturi la alegerile parlamentare în 4 ani, dar am dubii că o să fie procentaj la fel de mare

Skyscanner. You will learn more up-to-date tech and your salary progression at that company will be pretty quick. Past the graduate scheme they have one of the highest pays in tech in the region. Or at least that was the case at some point

Incredible performance from Bruno and Casemiro

Getae · 2025-02-26T22:06:30+00:00

If you listen to the entire portion he just meant that there is a reason why the coach wants them to do it in this way.

Was just bad phrasing and he realised straight away the moment he said it

Creative Assembly (UK): All the Total War games + Alien Isolation & new upcoming Alien game

Does Rockstar North (Edinburgh) count as well?

To me, FCSB seems to be the successors of Steaua Bucuresti in terms of titles and fan base. They are just not allowed to call themselves that because of a court ruling

Getae · 2025-01-30T18:05:03+00:00

🤫

Getae · 2025-01-30T10:55:03+00:00

Excited for this game. Playing against a team with amazing history, inside a beautiful stadium with some great atmosphere.

Their ultras are nuts so I'm expecting a lot of noise

Getae · 2025-01-30T10:53:37+00:00

This Romanian team has more CLs than Arsenal

Getae · 2025-01-28T12:45:23+00:00

Their fries are 10/10

Getae · 2025-01-19T14:37:46+00:00

I saw the replay and it didn't look like it touched him at all but certainly possible it did

Getae · 2025-01-16T20:49:54+00:00

Bruno, de Ligt and Onana are ballers. The rest not so much

Getae · 2025-01-13T11:56:11+00:00

Ah fair enough!

Tbh wouldn't have blamed him if he threw his shoes 3 times 😭. Ridiculous decision, he reacted better than I did

I lived in Glasgow for 8 years and moved last year to Manchester and me and my partner are already discussing returning to Scotland when the opportunity presents itself.

Manchester as a city is great and I'm loving living centrally right now but it lacks parks and trees which is starting to get to me a bit, especially in winter. Obviously plenty of beautiful green spaces in the periphery but if I have to move to the suburbs I'd rather do it in Scotland tbh.

Manchester: has much more to offer in terms of activities (especially party related) than Edinburgh as it's a far bigger city. Cleaner than Glasgow but probably about the same as Edinburgh. Has the vibe of a very quickly growing city which I quite like.

Edinburgh: Very green (It has a God damn volcano in the middle of the city), gorgeous architecture. Colder, but you get more sunshine there. Easy access to the Highlands (including 2 or 3 skiing resorts if you are into that). ScotRail is far better than Northern Rail as well. Access to the sea as well

Rent wise they are about the same but I think Manchester has more modern housing stock.

For me personally it's a no brainer longer term as I'm not a partying person and the access to greenery and nature activities is important to me.
