    Have I missed something here, or have I attracted another hole/bridge dweller.

    looks like a stalker as well as a troll you've got now.

    You're the only troll round here. :D

    Unfortunately your little pal Brian (or PsychoBri as they used to fondly call him on the aforementioned fishing forum) uses the SAME username for ALL of his internet forums. Schoolboy error. <shakes head>
    Don't grow up. Its a trap!

    Peace, love and labradors!

    Who cares what you post? You lost it ages ago.
    (Surprised you noticed the post missing tbh)

    Think you are missing a few of your posts as well. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Worst for me was an x police pugeot 309 1.3 D reg with 140k miles on the clock went through fan belts for fun, did finally solve the problem by taking it to a main dealer. 2nd worst 2002 Freelander 1.8 brought brand new, went through 2 head gaskets in the 5 years owned.

    best current 2011 mazda 6, 2002 mondeo ghia and my trust fiat uno H reg 45 1.0 that i bought after i solded the 309

    Never, ever, EVER buy ex police cars.

    That's my helpful MSE tip of the day.

    Ford escort 1996 white and total pile of pap. oil leaks , fuel leaks , Gaskets failing. and that's just the major things that wen t wrong with it.

    I find interesting that most major makes have been mentioned, but not the make i have now . HONDA

    Ultra reliable , fast in a straight line and in the corners , yet you can still take your nan for nice smooth ride in it.

    I will only ever have Japanese cars from now on.
    Better in my pocket than theirs :rotfl:

    The only Honda I would call 'fast' is a fireblade ;) In car terms, possibly the NSX, but certainly no Honda Civic is fast. The 'R-Type' is the fastest Civic and is a warm hatch at best. S2000 again is nice, but not fast.

    Reliable, yes I'll give you that, but plastic cheap interiors let them down.

    My son has an Type R and he's had something done to the suspension as well. When I drive it I feel as if my insides are in a washing machine. :D

    It's a nice car to drive and it's pretty reliable - just a bit too bumpy for my liking!
