    I've been Money Tipped!
    Dislike borh red and blue cars. Prefer black really. But more expensive to insure i read somewhere?

    Quite like the idea of yellow too. Content with navy, would consider dark grey, greige, or purple.

    You got the biggies if you got the £5 quidco plus the £10 new customer voucher although of course quidco charge £5 per annum whereas topcashback is free (would anyone like a referral to join TCB?) The other codes can be a bit poo as they are often on items that can be bought cheaper elsewhere. Did you order in time to get the petrol voucher (offer needs to be on on your delivery date)?
    Not currently available in English then :)

    Silver Carina II (with LNE) - became uneconomical to repair
    Dark green Passat estate (with LNE) - became LNE's car
    Red Corsa (while LNE took over the Passat) - head gasket went
    Royal blue Tino (on my own) - rear-ended and written off
    Air Force blue C-Max (on my own) - still driving it

    CBA to look up the dates, prices etc, and don't carry that info in my head. The C-Max was ex-Motability and had only done 11k when I got it 13 months ago, and is doing well so far. It's only 08 reg, though, so still quite young by my standards.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Mr Spirit bought it for me for my first birthday after we married.

    I was then nubile and 24.

    As you can see from my earlier post these days I have to buy my own cars.:(

    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Don't forget everyone, because I know you are all in the mood... It's the first Eurovision semi-final tonight.

    Hope all is going well for CK.

    I think I must be the weird one then as I can automatically remember all the details of the cars I have had....I can even remember the reg number for my first car!

    Anyway, Renault, a sort of yucky green/gold colour depending on the light, old V reg.
    Lada - Brown, new A reg.
    Astra - Goldy brown colour new A reg
    Cavalier - goldy brown colour new B reg
    Sierra - Burgundy new B reg
    Passat - Charcoal grey new K reg.
    Audi - Dark blue N reg
    Astra - silver M reg.

    My current dream is to get a car in the new type registrations.....now that would be a thrill! :rotfl:

    Edit - I have purchased a new vehicle once before...my motorbike, brand new in 1988 F reg.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    I was given a brand new car, all !!!!!! are. It is a rite of passage along with your first coloured pony. It was a Ford Mondeo and the brat danced the pas de bas (pronounced paddys bar) on the roof.
    Retail is the only therapy that works
