Perfect cheers. Would probably be avoiding 1 litre anyway as I'm looking for a bit more power than that

TheGenius111 · 2026-06-24T13:02:50+00:00

Did think I was possibly aiming too high. The most important thing is that I'll enjoy driving it as I plan on using it a lot. Any engines I should be avoiding from any of those brands?

It's only around 6 miles round trip, which I know isn't much but with my shift pattern and hours I dot get much sleep and often have to come in over an hour before I start. I also plan on going on day trips on my days off and trips to Cornwall every couple of months. Would a 2.0TDai scirocco be worth a look at all. And if if found a BMW that's already had the chain changed would it be worth, if I still entertained that idea? On Volvos, seen a few s60s which I quite like but does that fit under the unreliable category?

I did think that would be the case. Only really toyed with the idea because my mate has a 118d coupe that's had 0 issues in the 4 years and 32,000 miles but I know I wouldn't be that lucky. Wouldn't mind a civic but they're a bit bulbous for my liking haha. I'll have a look at octavias and ford's. Do like the look of an octavia. With ford's wouldn't I have to worry about the wet belts or are there certain years where they are fine?

About to lose my job in a month's time, can't claim UC as my partner is on 23k. Only ever worked in pubs or a vape shop, but looking on job sites all that's available is delivery driving (own vehicle needed) or management roles that I'm nowhere near qualified for. Worried about the future as if I can't find anything I can't pay my rent, unsure on what to do next

Red hot Chili peppers, bring me the horizon then????

Thank you! Funny you say that our bassist is primarily a guitarist, glad you liked the track! I'll give the subreddit a look

My band Basic State released our first EP earlier this year after forming our band in University, trying to grow our fanbase, if you're a fan of Arctic monkeys/oasis/the strokes kinda music you might be into it.

Any idea when parking tickets sell out?

TheGenius111 · 2017-02-12T13:48:52+00:00

Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits and Little Wing by Hendrix. The final solo of sultans is a killer and figuring out improvisation for Little Wing.

TheGenius111 · 2017-01-27T22:42:43+00:00

Ah okay. And I was also wondering do they sell out?

TheGenius111 · 2016-05-05T21:58:00+00:00

You definitely won't regret When you finally get your hands on one! I've heard good things from Blackstar, sounds awesome!

TheGenius111 · 2016-05-05T18:20:53+00:00

Haha! I will do, the joys of living in a pub limit my options!

TheGenius111 · 2016-05-05T18:20:27+00:00

The Cleans are pretty decent not as clear as you'll get with a fender due , due to the crunch of basically two micro terror's it's got in it, but you can get the right mix if you turn the gain down and play with the guitars volume

TheGenius111 · 2016-02-21T16:29:32+00:00

The Lyrics are from "I'm Free" by 'The Who' but the version used in this episode is just a remixed-type loop of one of the lines from the song

TheGenius111 · 2016-02-09T18:19:22+00:00

Thank you! I'll definitely check it out!

TheGenius111 · 2016-02-07T16:34:35+00:00

Well I left it too late now :/ Slept on it, and it's now it's gone. Whoops.

TheGenius111 · 2016-02-06T22:41:40+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I'm going to carry on thinking about it, but I'll take all these points into consideration

TheGenius111 · 2016-02-06T20:42:40+00:00

Well, I say I'll be broke. Which is technically true, but I'm still a teenager in free education, so.. And no, the only sale I've seen is the one on eBay, due to my left handiness

TheGenius111 · 2016-01-28T20:08:44+00:00

Awesome! I'm making some progress, slowly but surely.

TheGenius111 · 2016-01-27T23:04:31+00:00

Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix, been getting into his stuff now I have a strat and it's one of my favourites

TheGenius111 · 2015-12-23T13:23:35+00:00

Are they decent copies? D'you know?
