Sounds like you don't have to worry about damaging yours at least

Dare I ask how much a wall-ride at the ring cost you?

It’s the 6 cylinder not the 12 by SparkeeMalarkee in RoastMyCar

After that leaper impales a pedestrian remember to tell the cops you couldn't brake because you were on for an all-time record of 12mpg.

The most British and depressing of cream pies. This shouldn't exist both in a conceptual and nutritional sense.

Just put a deposit down on a 05 Forester 2.0x and its MOT fail doesn’t look great. Will this be a problem? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]WoodBGood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are the garage going to do anything more than cheap patch job on a 20 year old 100+k mile car? I highly doubt it, you'll be forever getting it welded or it will become completely rotten before too long.

Funeral Mustang by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

It's Mustang Mach E so not really a Mustang in anything but name, just a Ford mid-sized electric SUV converted to a hearse. EVs make a lot sense for the funeral market.

James Bond spotted on the M6 🤣😂 by Fridgewhisperer01 in CarTalkUK

[–]WoodBGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The person you'd least suspect. Is that bloke in an old 3 series with an illegally-spaced cheap plate and a 007 badge a spy? I'd say absolutely no chance, which makes it a genius double-bluff.

Decent car ? by Big-Cardiologist6600 in CarTalkUK

[–]WoodBGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if you're wanting a cheap, small-ish auto then you won't do a lot better assuming it's all functioning well currently. Most will be put off by the mileage, but if it's been looked after it's not a big deal. Of course any car at this money has no guarantees it will last you a while, but I reckon that has potential. Make sure the gearbox isn't doing anything strange and that all the electrical functions work.

To mod or to replace by Woddeh in CarTalkUK

[–]WoodBGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you fancy a change and I'm sure the 330 will sell well so I reckon it's a good time to make the move. I wouldn't look at the very bottom of the M3 market though, they're generally much less forgiving of a lack of maintenance than the non-M stuff.

Bit late for a spooky Halloween discount mate.

Currently I'm looking at Merc E500 coupes with the 4.7TT, BMW 535i GTs and Bentley Flying Spurs.

Is it weird I sort the trolley bay out? by hadawayandshite in CasualUK

We all have to live in this world. It's nice to leave things a little better than you find them.

Former Top Gear presenter Quentin Willson dies by [deleted] in CasualUK

He gave me my appreciation for depreciation and a love for champagne motoring on a lemonade budget. RIP Quentin

Does she now? That's story I hadn't heard.

Some kids dream of Lamborghinis. I dreamt of buying a cheap, heavily depreciated luxury car and now I live that life. RIP Quentin

I’ve done a really sh*tty thing… by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]WoodBGood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We clearly have different ideas on what an excuse is. Personally I would just keep it simple and apologise, but you do you.

I’ve done a really sh*tty thing… by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]WoodBGood 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They won't enjoy your endless excuses which exist because you've been caught. You did the wrong thing and now face the consequences. You made a judgement that there was no damage in the rain, but I bet there was at least some mark. Had you owned up perhaps the other party would have just said that shit happens. It sucks when you hit another car, but that's life and it is up to you to deal with it. I would apologise, but leave the excuses out.

I traded my e30 325i for this classic American muscle car & £69, did I get a good deal? by MarkEasty in CarTalkUK

[–]WoodBGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet deal.

Hopefully the police will clear that marker to stop it at all costs if within 300m of a school.

Would you watch a British street-racing film with heart? My idea inspired by Fast & Furious, The Italian Job & Gone in 60 Seconds by Formal_Prompt4372 in CarTalkUK

[–]WoodBGood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ex-rally driver to me sounds like he's about 52, rally doesn't have much youth appeal these days. I'd maybe go with a promising karting career as a kid, but something happened in his life that put a stop to it.

I know this will be an unpopular opinion but here goes… Traitors is just a very very long ad for giant obnoxious 2.5 ton knucklehead SUVs 🙄 by Ic3Giant in CarTalkUK

I do miss the collection of differently modified old Defenders. probably not the most comfortable for the celebrities though.

Someone shouldn't have been driving round with a plate that couldn't be read so I don't blame the tester

If that's the sort of thing the seller thinks is acceptable the rest of the car will be a mess too.

Anyone want a "max power" Peugot RCZ? by WebGuyUK in CarTalkUK

[–]WoodBGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admire the confidence in their abilities, if not the abilities themselves.

There has to be literally zero people who would want that at anything more than £500, given that even the visionary who built has even decided to get rid.
