As long as no one was hurt mind..

I say we do this to German cars

I see the new Honda Civic is having reliability issues according to Which?

Alfas did not get a mention in the couple of pres reports I saw.

and is there anything to wrong with a Hyundai Accent? its like saying my stapler never breaks down

My stapler broke down so I threw it away. But then again Hyundai Accents are disposable cars I suppose.

Audi A4 abandoned in the outside
line of a two carriageway road
with hazards flashing and a triangle
about 2 meters behind it.

On an incline after some lights
and ripe for a tail ender.

Not quite German but saw a Murcielago on a flatbed the other day.

Ford Focus at the roadside yesterday with the bonnet up.

A guy at work has an Audi A6 1.8T. the windscreen motor has failed. He has tried everywhere for a replacement motor but no where stocks them. apparently the 1.8T is different to other A6 models.

He is looking at a large bill from a dealer. i'll post up the price whwn he finds out, but it ain't going to be cheap..

Went to Rockingham yesterday to watch the Alfas race and while waiting for the others to turn up this came passed
