Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
At the Ponderosa this morning there was a 24-plate MV Rush. First time I've seen one in the metal, good looking machine in the current brutal, slightly insectoid style. But a starting price of £30,000. Yes, thirty grand.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Wow, that's even more ridiculous. I googled the price rather than getting it from the MV site, which shows you should never believe what you read on the Web

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
My 14 year old Yaris passed its MOT with no advisories. I inherited the car from my Dad 6 years ago and it has now done a grand total of 39871 miles. I added a whopping 342 miles since last year, not surprising since I only use it every 3 weeks to get groceries and then take it for a 25 mile scenic trip home.
Total problems in 14 years so far: a/c doesn't work since there's a hole in the condensor (I only used it for defogging windscreen anyway), 2 coil springs have snapped (thank you NE Lincs council for our awful roads), 1 brake caliper seized (I'm not a heavy braker), rusty brake lines replaced. I replaced the (stop/start) battery after 10 years because I thought it was about time (new one doesn't seem as good). Set of tyres (surprised at that). Very slow leak from 1 wheel, did it on the old tyre and the new one - I suspect rim corrosion is causing it, loses 2 psi in 3 weeks.
