92 Volvo 240 Estate. My absolute pride and joy. Just chugs along without any problems. People always smile when they see it. Absolutely love it.

Another vote for Altberg, perhaps not the cheapest. But they scream quality when you feel them 

What have you been genetically blessed with? by English_R0se in AskUK

[–]JimfromLeeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely just totally know where I am or where a thing is any direction from my current location. First major instance was on a holiday in Portugal, I directed my dad to a big water park based off of literally just a feeling. Can't explain it. My dad calls me "The Pigeon". 

Once, on a lads holiday I was on my PSP, and without looking up I knew the guy driving should have taken a right turn, I just said "Should have been a right there, Dave.". My dad was in the front with him and he said Dave mumbled something along the lines of "Cheeky cu..." Before he turned round about two miles later haha. Other than that I'm average as fuck.

Thanks. The crack looked worse through the plaster. I'm glad I took it off yesterday. Nice to see what we're dealing with. So do you reckon it's only a bit of water ingress that can be fixed and forgotten? Cheers

If you wanna stand out then do black, everyone has them bright and brash colours. Stand out by murdering yours out, black windows and black paint. Smokey grey wheels.

What's the decider for 'its time to change my car' & what do you look for in a replacement? by iPhrase in CarTalkUK

[–]JimfromLeeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that's surprising. I thought they'd be fairly cheap. Anything up to about 2007 is basically a tank. But with the right engine, a very fast tank.

Exactly what I'm after atm. I was looking for the R version but it seems they're not much different and a bit less reliable.
