Skirted-UK Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Volvo 740 Estate. I just love this car except for its fabric seat covers which make getting into it in a straight skirt a real pain. "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave ! " The Eagles, "Hotel California"
squirrelheels Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Nice car Lion - not sure I could cope with the Dutch dashboard or the left hand drive though! Over here they're Vauxhall Zafiras. Same thing really. Very practical - ideal for me. Although I do quite like Volvos for practicality. And I like leather seats too. Except for the fact it comes from cows. Bah. [1] Nevermind. SH [1] Um, make that "moo". Hi! I'm a signature virus! Copy me into your sig and help me spread!
Yamyam Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 Except for the fact it comes from cows. Bah. [1] Nevermind. SH [1] Um, make that "moo". :rofl: Of course, the leather used in car interiors and clothing is basically a by-product of the burger industry. The cows would have died anyway, and so you're helping keep the price of meat down by making more use of the animal. And besides, cows are pretty yukky up close. I prefer them at a safe distance, or safely cooked From Yamyam's paper-thin justifications, 2003 edition Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"

genebujold Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 It's a beater. That's "beater," not "Beamer." I'll buy something nice like an Acura RL when I fall out of love with my 180,000-mile sweetheart.

Secreto Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 Come on baby! I gonna get me a Mazda RX8 (6 speed) once I'm made redundant! I'm sure I should use the money for something sensible, but I know I have another job lined up. Currently though a Hyundi coupe SE, T reg (few years old), but dribbling over suicide doors & 146mph... Mind you I havn't asked the wife yet... Can you drive a new bathroom? When woman get taller, their shoes will fit me better.
TXT-1 Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 you may have seen it before but compared to Genebujold's "beater" my farm hack is a jerry rigged pile of crap! the brakes are shoddy, there is rust in strategic locations (you can see daylight through the passenger side sill (rocker) panel the auto tranny slips like mad (due to my thashing of the poor thing) no isn't registered because it is NOT roadwothy!! JeffM I believe you have a VR calais! Secreto, personally not a fan if suicide doors however (I think) with an RX-8 the rear passengers can't get out until the front doors are opened at least that's how the king cab utes (pickups) are over here later, TXT-1

I didn't realise that king cabs were like that too. Mind you I couldn't get one of those on my drive! When woman get taller, their shoes will fit me better.

I've also got a Citroen AX, 1994 my mate gave me which has done only 46,000. It was out of MOT and getting in his way, but also drives perfectly. It needs a headlight and a rear quaterlight glass.
