  1. So I bit the bullet and went ahead and got the car, yippeeeeededd….until it wouldn’t go into gear and the clutch pedal was stuck to the floor today. Had to leave work early as mrs was driving and had to swap cars. Waited 2 hours for AA technician to come out and reset the fault code. now to decide whether to get it repaired under warranty or reject it
  2. Free market capitalism.
  3. Evening all found a car that fits the bill of what I’m looking for. Going to test drive on Sunday. Car I believe is very well priced as it is so don’t think there’s room for haggling. Something that keeps running through my head. I don’t NEED a car right now but will by end of the year/beginning of next when son starts childcare. Am I right to assume that it’s looking likely that used prices won’t come down between now and then, even if we go into a recession?
  4. I wouldn’t mind ford but they’re a bit out of my price range, my mrs wants me to get a car with as low a mileage as possible, newish fords in my price range would have quite a high mile like 100k plus on the clock for 2016/2017 and I’m a bit hesitant by that, although I’ve seen online that it’s not an issue with modern cars? apologies I’m a complete car novice when it comes to what to look out for re age and mileage and things like that.
  5. Evening fellow VT’ers, apologies for the lengthy post in advance. looking for advice re buying a used car. I recently passed my test at the ripe old age of 30 after 9 years of learning. (Long story) and am looking to buy a car towards end of year/ beginning of next when my son starts childcare. im going to be saving up so I can potentially buy a car outright or make up the difference with finance. couple of bits of advice. I’m eyeing a Vauxhall Astra as it seems to have all that I’d want from a car (heated seats, pretty economical, 5 doors, apple car play, price range etc) has anyone had a post 2017 one and how did you find it? Also caught in 2 minds on whether I should pay a bit more for for a newer one with lower miles, or an older one with slightly higher mileage which I could fit a double dinn stereo with screen to get apple car play. I don’t envisage changing the car until it dies a death so I’m more inclined to go newer but more expensive as I’d think it would last longer but I’m unsure. This would be my first car so all advice is welcome
  6. I dunno, draw against Fulham ain’t bad considering.
  7. It appears that 3 is the most in a season, remarkably it’s happened 8 times in PL history including us in 15/16 https://www.90min.com/posts/6310534-8-premier-league-clubs-who-have-had-3-managers-or-more-in-a-season found out in Italy in 15/16 Palermo had NINE managerial changes involving 7 managers. They sacked and rehired 2 different managers throughout that season! https://the18.com/en/node/50571
  8. If I’m being brutally honest I would have said no at the time. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and look back and realise I would have been wrong but have answered based on how I felt back then.
  9. Never interested me tbh, I’m all for legalisation and regulation of recreational drugs but would never use it myself.
  10. I remember when I worked in a pub back home when one of the barmen had done this on the toilet seat lid, when to do an inspection and came back with his hand caked in coke. I turned 30 couple weeks ago and have never done a line in my life.
  11. Why do arsenal fans delude themselves that our young talent are fans of theirs
  12. This is how I felt watching him last night….

  14. Said this to a mate earlier, holding for the big payday in the summer.
