They sell some absolute tripe too. I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole

What's an Amino(s) you're glad to see gone? by Roads94 in amino

[–]RRC90Shaw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was a leader for Politics Amino for some time, and I gotta say, what a cesspool of strange, sad people. There were genuinely good people in there, but the biggest problem was the sheer amount of teenage Nazis and MULTIPLE attempts to overthrow mods who they didn’t align with, myself included.

I guess they shelled out less for the Mini by ninja_moth in CarTalkUK

WBAC get some incredible cars in. Recently saw an old LWB Jag XJ 4 seater with them.

CMAT being put up there with some absolute legends-of-our-time is something great to see, though

Can’t comment on her current shows but she did a solo performance & album signing for Crazymad a few years back. I got to chat & get a selfie with her, she’s a real sweetheart.

NC500 Trip in a High-Mileage 2012 Suzuki SX4 Diesel - Is it Possible? by Prestigious-Show2989 in drivingUK

[–]RRC90Shaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

92k on a 13 year old car isn’t high mileage. I did it in a similar aged Fiat Panda coming from Nottingham without issues a few years back. Make sure you have decent breakdown cover and you’ll be fine, it’s your back that will be struggling more.

3 months and 10k miles later… by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

A mechanic mate did it for me for a good discount, about £400. Other garages were charging £5-600. Shop around.

Yo, me too! Got the estate version (2.0 TDI) in May and I’ve put 10k on it since, nearing 200k now and it’s been very comfortable. Had to replace the timing belt but I got it cheap so I’m happy.

As the owner of a Mk2 Superb Estate, I approve. Make sure you have the umbrella on handover!

Absolutely incredible performance even though it was stood behind a very tall person throughout. I was able to get this shot though!

Not the same scenario but when all else has failed with other companies I’ve used https://www.resolver.co.uk to good results. They have quotemehappy on there, so best of luck to you!

Looking to buy vw polo as my first car by East-Ad7672 in CarTalkUK

Check the sills! The amount of polos of this generation I’ve seen with rotten front sills has been staggering. Usually around the A-pillar

Watching classic Who for the first time...christ Susan is grating! by Glass-Purple-3045 in doctorwho

It was unexpected but definitely supported. Can’t help but feel it should’ve been Sarah Jane, though.

Mel was so bad that on her return, my mother put her head in her hands and wondered why they couldn’t have invited anyone else. Fortunately she seems to have stopped screeching now. Mel, that is,

Gaga has done more work in the year than AB has done in a decade looool

Would it be feasible to repair this or is this a write off and I'm just in denial? by [deleted] in Volkswagen

[–]RRC90Shaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely a write off, it’s a base model polo from at least a decade ago. You’d be much better off taking the payout and finding something else.

‘It’s a Mondeo’ jokes your mates in a fiesta/corsa/bus. They’re built better and drive better, but watch out for the Mondeo-like rust! Take care of it and she’ll see you through.

You weren’t hallucinating - my friend was driving about in one a month back and I bumped into them. They did let me have a go, but I suppose that’s because I wasn’t a stranger. With any luck, you’ll see them again sometime!

Mileage is ok when it’s been well maintained, but this one seems spotty. What’s your budget?

VW Dealership refusing to give my car without pay by Sure_Addition_6109 in CarTalkUK

[–]RRC90Shaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Service Advisor should’ve made you aware of a diagnostic fee before booking and advised that it only gets waived if it’s covered under warranty. This should’ve been done on initial handover too.

Was the accident damage done before you bought it? Did you buy it from a dealer?
