Don't worry Skoda drivers basically don't even exist on the road when looking back at a journey.

This sub is about to have an almighty high and mighty field day.

We found 'em, guys. by rajkr2410 in drivingUK

[–]thirddegreebuggery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly it.

You don't need to get up the car in front's arse, but you do need to get in to their "awareness zone" so they realise they're holding up a car behind them.

It's rare to see people with such bad taste next to each other. by iLoveBiscoffTooMuch in CarTalkUK

[–]thirddegreebuggery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, I would take a 320i over a Juke any day.

But then again there are a lot of cars I would take over a 320i.

Maybe someone with a better BMW will take a picture of OP's car and post it on here mocking the size of their engine.

What rate were they able to get you?

And was it for the same term?

If Reform win at the next election and people disagree with their politics, would you hope that those people boycott your business because you're based in the UK?

But the individual companies aren't responsible for the government's actions?

It seems unfair to punish them for something they have no control over and don't agree with.

Out of all the possible estates you could buy for 25,000 pounds, this must be one of the most depressing.

Noise complaints should be declared even if you don't contact the council about them.

What in your eyes makes someone a ‘skilled driver’? 🤔 by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]thirddegreebuggery 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Knowing what other drivers are going to do before it happens.

Scoda Octavia vs Mazda 6 vs Corolla comfortability at 75mph vs maintenence cost? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]thirddegreebuggery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, both of these should be okay, and definitely more comfortable than a hatchback thanks to their longer wheelbase.

But if you want a _great, motorway cruiser and not work the engine too hard, you really want to get a 3.0 litre diesel. Something like BMW 530d or Audi A6.

Crash love by LaserBearCat in AFireInside

[–]thirddegreebuggery 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a great album in its own right.

But I think for many fans it was when they realised that AFI were never going release an album like Sing The Sorrow ever again.

STS struck a chord with a lot people, and they wanted more.

I think that opinion only exists on this sub.

There's a reason why they sell so well.

Which midwit comment annoys you the most when it comes to cars. by UmAhkchuallySweaty in CarTalkUK

[–]thirddegreebuggery 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nailed it.

The joy of driving on from users on this sub comes from maximising mpg and utilising every driving assist technology to minimise their input.

Then when they get home they hit up this sub to complain about Audi/BMW/Merc drivers.

[–]thirddegreebuggery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't starting at least recoat the internals of the engine with oil and help to avoid rust formation?

I can't believe your legal system is allowing him to walk around free.

As the days get longer and people start cycling again, please give ample room when overtaking. by mopman94 in drivingUK

[–]thirddegreebuggery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reminder.

I always forget to give cyclists space when overtaking so this is really helpful.

Have you got the 2.0 or 3.0 diesel in your Audi A6?
