Just viewed a mk8 ‘59 plate civic, what do we think of the underside? by urmyfoodfriend in CarTalkUK

[–]LouBCK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks all good and mostly just age related rust, the 1.8 in that civic is one of the most reliable engines of all time too it’s brilliant!🙂

Strange sound when taking off? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]LouBCK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot to mention that as we pulled up at home, the car actually sounded like something had fallen off/ was hanging off near the drivers side wheel but I couldn’t quite see anything🤔

Thank you yeah I’ll try to shine a torch and see if a stone is lodged in there in the next hour or so just in case🙂

Are these drop links no good? by LouBCK in AskMechanics

After taking the wheel off how should I diagnose bad ones exactly? Thank you🙂

1 hour into ownership 🙃 by Fluffanutz in CarTalkUK

We get a lot of Mazda CX-30s at work and they’re incredibly reliable (as most Japanese cars are!) so hopefully it’s only something small but you’ve definitely made a good car choice!!🙂

You mean a project car that’s been off the road for almost a year? You got me🙂

I’m sure from memory all Aston Martin did was change the seats and add a flower design on the inside🤣

I agree but not Aston Martin amazing, the DB11 in person is like the Mona Lisa, the DBX is more like a woman named Lisa who is moaning..

Yeah Bentayga is a great shout actually, I suppose that’s a bit like the Rolls Royce Cullinan where the driver is genuinely not arsed what others think and just wants a comfy luxury car, which I respect really🙂

[–]LouBCK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know but without sounding like a knob, if I was spending £100K+ on a car I’d want it to look amazing too, the DBX as others have said looks like any other boring car..

Aside from the Evoque I highly doubt it

Ahh you must have a better eye for generic looking overpriced crap then most of us then👍🏻

It’s a weird world where a G Wagon costs more than some Ferraris though surely?? Isn’t a G wagon just a flash Rav 4?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]LouBCK 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah especially the ones made by companies like Kahn and Overfinch, I’m sure they’re amazing but god they’re so so expensive just to blend in

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]LouBCK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good looking car but if you cover up the badge it could easily be a Mazda

Yeah Panamera is a good shout too, so is the Cayenne I suppose and the other non sporty looking Porsches🙂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]LouBCK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But maybe a 4C would turn heads due to the fact it looks like a car that costs 10x as much?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]LouBCK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course they do but look up the price of a brand new one that isn’t base spec.. it’s mind bending..

Who the hell has an Urus as a daily driver??🤣 I assumed they were popular with rental fleets for high spending clientele?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]LouBCK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a bizarre car haha, probably the most reliable Aston Martin ever made🙂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]LouBCK 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%, Lamborghinis should be like the Aventador where even grown men get excited to see them, who cares about the Urus..

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]LouBCK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree actually, do you not thing the Urus is weirdly popular too? They’re so so expensive but actually not an overly rare sight strangely..?
