My transport for the next 2 weeks

[Blobcat]

Attached is my transport for the next 2 weeks

If Omni wishes to swop for his C class I would be well happy to take it off his hands. It is a 56 reg, ~700 miles Polo, same as an Audi just different badge. I hate it with a passion.
It's noisy, it vibrates worse than a diesel, the engine is too loud, the brakes are fierce and grabby, the gear ratios are too far apart, the interior light doesn't work, the seats are uncomfortable, the wipers are too loud, there is a lot of road noise and the suspension causes the car to wobble around like a jelly on a plate.
I cannot wait to get back my 'E', I miss my car

which Audi is the equivalent to the Polo?

Anyway, I bet you can at least play the radio in yours.....mine's so quiet now I can hear the suspension falling apart

I bet you drive it with the drivers window down and your cool shades on just so every one can see your new ride....very "Manly"

oh, and why 2 weeks?

A8 I think, all those No.'s confuse me

Funny you should mention the radio, drove home last night. When I arrived home my son said oh I didn't know the radio had been on. The noise from the engine/road was so loud he couldn't hear the radio at all until we stopped.

My ex got one of those when his Jeep went in for repairs. It was black polo, just the same as that. Felt really light and plastic. The door vibrated at 70mph and it was noisy.

Horrible horrible thing. Unfortunatly that's what he had to take to Goodwood as his dad had taken the SL500.

oh I see, we just do letters not numbers right? What ever happened to decent names for cars like Princess or Alegro or......ok I think I'll forget that thread


Still didn't answer the 2 week question though.

 

[Blobcat]

oh good grief! Nice to know these ebay types know what they are talking about.

any road up, back to the 2 week question.....

 

[davidsl500]

So what did you hit Blob ?!

 

[Blobcat]

just realised I have the shopping trolley for 20 days not 2 weeks :-(

 

[davidsl500]

ah, wouldnt be a new car on order would it? Nope, still going with the "what did you hit! angle !

 

[OmniCognateNeutronRangler]

or what hit you? But if it was what hit you I'm sure you wouldn't be so coy about telling us.

20 days takes you right into Christmas and the New Year terratory. It may get extended....you lucky thing.

 

[Blobcat]

No not bent (thankfully)

 

[davidsl500]

No not bent (thankfully)

But what about the car ?


Must be a major repair job then

 

[OmniCognateNeutronRangler]

I think we've already established Mercs never go wrong... :roll:

 

[Blobcat]

I agree it's working perfectly

 

[OmniCognateNeutronRangler]

an enigma wrapped in a smartarse wrapped in an enigma.........

so back to the 2 weeks then....


oh I know, they are winding your clock back but it takes them 20 minutes per mile.

My insurance company initially wanted £46.79 for the privilege of driving this polo around for 20 days. I politely informed them that I would not be paying any additional premium. They went away to think about it, then agreed with me.

have you taken up masochism as a new hobby?
