Someone's crashed into my car in a car park and driven off.

Park distance control is screwed, bumper is ugly and I have rather a lot of white paint on my red car. Have to phone the manager of the Travelodge tomorrow to probably find that the CCTV doesn't work or they can't be arsed to look. It's not a big car park.

It's definitely an insurance claim

Bl**dy annoying.
A few weeks ago some moron deliberately scratched a line across the bonnet of OHs car. It had been cleaned the day before and was OK then. He had not parked it anywhere unusual thereafter, the marina car park where his office is based, the village square when he picked up some groceries on the way home and then on our drive overnight. what possesses someone to do such a senseless thing is a mystery to me. He is hoping it can be smart repaired rather than a whole bonnet respray.

In other car news, my insurance expired yesterday, I could not renew it yet as I do not have a licence. The good news is that my stroke will not effect my premium when I do renew.Cannot say the same for tavel insurance:(

Sorry to hear this I would be fuming!

DS2, having split with the GF last week is now back together with her! I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not.

It is the easiest path. On tap companionship, making up passion, some one to cosy up to.

Another Mazda.
Mazda 6, 2.0 petrol.
Like below, but without woman, in grey and no snow.

That picture is of a girl who has her high heels stuck in the snow and can't work out what to do next. If she were not leaning against the car, she'd fall over.

Then stay in the uk, and enjoy the wonderful countryside and interesting cities. You can be at your destination in the time it takes to queue at the airport.

I'm currently on a disastrously non MSE trip to Berlin. Bloody football!

If you split up you have a reason, which probably hasn't gone away, even if you decide you can live with it. Does a girl ever trust someone who has split up with them? Not sure I could.

It's very frustrating knowing that two people are not suited to each other long term and your just waiting for it to end so you can help pick up the pieces. Even more so when that person lives with you and has been in knots of anguish and worry on and off for months visits the partner with intent to finish it then returns as if nothing has happened and it is all fine again. :wall: :wall:

What model was Wheezy Mazda and why replace?

I'm asking as Mazda is on my shortlist for new cars when I finally get round to buying one.

Hello viva.
It was a 626, 15 years old with 216k on the clock. Next MOT is due in July and I probably would need to spend a couple of hundreds to get it through. Needed new front tyres, brake pads all round and rear brake discs were worn out. All that probably adds up to more than its market value. Engine still runs like a dream though, and I'd buy another Mazda any time, any day, which I did.

I'm more likely to go for an Audi, Mazda, Nissan or Hyundai - much better reliability.

Good choices there.
My wife got a Hyundai (i10)and it's a good little runner, the interior plastics are on the cheap side though and it gets seriously noisy at motorway speeds.

Mmmm, chilli-cheeseburgers, beer, and the Canadian GP starting on TV.

Heaven.

Very surprised about the lack of progress from McLaren-Honda.
Hondas are supposed to be reliable? :cool:

Urgh. I know this feeling. The person doesn't live with me and that's bad enough. You have to stay quiet because you risk upsetting them when their mind changes again.

But there is a size/space issue. Built the four sides and now have to build a metal framework that takes the mattress....all good stuff except there's no room to do it as the base is now in the way.

Any interior walls you could knock down? :cheesy:
