Feck-up of 2010 Award. Game over. I win.
So here we are, three days into the new year and I reckon this will be unsurpassed on the feck-up front
Mrs Jabba's Renault Scenic, whilst it's been a good car and served us well (other than having to replace all the coil-packs and other electrical gremins), was ripe for change and hints about getting a new car had not gone unnoticed. I'd asked her a question along the lines of "If you were going to swap the Scenic, what would you fancy instead?" and had got an answer. This was weeks ago and I reckon she was thinking no more of it. "Got a few errands to run. Mind if I take the Scenic as the Mazda's tyres need checking and I haven't got time at the moment?" says I. "Ok!" says Mrs Jabba. So off I go to surprise her with a new car. Got her this: It's a Skoda Roomster 2 1.9TDI. Well-build, practical and economical; all the things she likes in a car. So I drive it home, park it up and, feeling very pleased with myself, go get Mrs Jabba. "Cover your eyes honey, I've got a surprise for you!" says I, and lead her outside....... "You can open them now!" "My god..... that's ugly! What on earth made you think I'd want that?" "It's what you said you wanted when I asked you a few weeks ago". "Erm...... I said that I'd wouldn't mind a roadster......" Feel free to point and laugh. There's a long thread on here about "jubblies". Don't think I'm gonna any for a while |

Its not Fiat Multipla ugly, but it's not exactly pretty.
It also has a really, really poor name - obviously thought up by marketting buffoons who wanted something 'funky' and 'fun' but failed miserably (just like 'Modus', 'Pixo' and 'Twingo') Just chop it for an impractical sports car of some kind, then jubbly privalages may be restored. |
