Ten years I have owned this car and she has never let me down. :y
However, nearly £800 each year to tax her is simply too much for the miles she does. :-X
-
Well.....someone must have thought it was worth it.
-
Someone actually paid you real money for it ? :o ;D
-
How much did you get for it? ??? :)

That was the question Opti was waiting for, now he can play his game ;D

He's been telling us for years that it's an appreciating classic. :)

WBAC offered £1335......but the thieving bastards would only give me £943.01 once they saw it. ::)
Having said that, I only paid £2400 a whole decade ago, so perhaps not that bad in the great scheme of things.

If I put my astra into WBAC they offer me around £3000. But the thieving bastards will only offer me £12.50 if I turn up with it ;D

Mrs Opti has been driving it mainly for the last couple of years but she wants it gone because it kills polar bears and little black children. >:D
So I suppose I have to replace it for her with something you plug in. :-\

Considering your wife is somewhere right of Ghengis Khan, I'm surprised she believes in climate change.

The girl who looked it over kept saying " you don't see many of these and it's in really nice condition"
She then went on to knock more than 30% of the original offer because of XYZ...... ;D ;D

She is incredibly right wing, like a female version of French Albitz. >:D

I imagine they may find one or two little things wrong so they can lower the price. ;) :D ;D

Im not fickin french >:( >:(
And not really right wing. Just in possession of a little bit of common sense - I hope. :)

:D ;D Now now Ronald😳

So what's next?
A signum set the bar quite low for rare and pointless, but surely we can do better.
How about a Perodua Kenari?

£1457 of depreciation in 10 years.
Just £145.70 a year. :y
It's just a shame it cost so much to tax each year......when a belligerent old man from Liverpool only pays £30 a year to tax a planet-destroying derv Astra. ::)

Being a mere woman she obviously knows nothing of cars. >:D
Presented in a pretty colour any of those 3 could possibly fool her. ::)
Thing is though.....at some point I will be forced to drive it so it needs to be better than those 3 cripple carriages. :y

Ahh, you need an Audi E-TRON👍👍

How very dare you. >:D
Coming from a man who thinks a forty year old Austin Metro is the height of automotive excellence. :)
-

I've just looked this up and it's a good looking car available with almost 1000BHP for the unhinged. :y
Jimmy mentioned the BMW X6. Another good car but excessively ugly. :)
Besides, I'm poor and can't afford either. :-\

I have owned one French car in my life, and never heard the end of it. ::) :P
Actually, I had a 205 GTi but that was a " do up and flog" car. Doubled my money on it, but I wish I still had it. People pay silly money for them now. ::)

Same here a 1987 Renault 5 Turbo went like stink , but SWMBO collected too many points with it, traded it for a Subaru Forester.

Never owned a Frenchie. I did hire one when the exhaust blew on my first Mig. It was a 'shakin that ass' Megane. Reversed into a parking space near Cambridge and when i went to engage neutral it had jammed into reverse. ::) The guy who i hired it from had to bring me another car over, a Focus, and drag the lump of French shit onto the back of his truck. Vowed never again. :D

I'm sure he'd love a Vietnamese frog curry. They really are rather good! :y

We had a 2010 megane coupe, never had any trouble with it. The ratio was too short on 1st gear, only got you to about 8 mph ;D
She didn't seem to mind, and it was her car.

I used be able to do 60 in 2nd in my 1980 Renault 5 GTL! :o ;D
The fact it never went bang, is a testament to the quality of the fine engineering at Renault! :)

Renault 5 GT Turbo has a certain ring to it.
Renault 5 GTL doesn't... >:D

I felt sure you'd return to blighty with a 17 year old oriental bride, who would promise to 'love you long time'. >:D

Not keen on Curry, its just stew that sets fire to your mouth. Pointless.
And people who eat Frogs are just savages who should all be culled. :)
-
Along with bullfighters👍
-
Then your not eating the right curry, Indian restaurants and the made up shit in jars is nothing like the real thing. I make my own from scratch and its as hot or mild as you make it.

The best curry i've ever had was made by a young Ugandan lady of Indian descent who had to flee the country to escape the Government of Idi Amin. She made this potato curry with various spices completely from scratch and was sensational.

Exactly

I get a load of froggie shitboxes delivered by my "favourite" useless hire company. Last week is was a Shitroen A3 Aircross PTSD and a thousand other letters in its name. It weighed the same as an Omega, and was powered by a 1.2 N/A engine. And despite it being even slower than my old Battlebus, it still managed to understeer like a bastard.
What a crock ;D.

That's FWD for you. >:D
My Signum tried valiantly to put 250BHP through the front wheels. Not with the greatest success at times. :-X

It was a great first car! 👍
1300cc in what was basically a rusty biscuit tin. It was almost as tippy as a 2CV, so a hoot on roundabouts and twisty B roads! ;D
It had bucket seats as well! :)
