Where they look at their car and think..


"What a fucking bag of shit"

?

Having a seriously fucked up month, sick to death of the fiesta, don't know how it can cause so much shit. Loads of niggly bits, that need sorting, but cost money. Money I won't have until March.

Seriously feel like packing it in and selling the fucker for pittance.

its a daily thing for me

then i drive it and all is forgotten and i love it again

OldDan

The only chance I really get to drive mine, is it to work and back.

And that's a pain in the flaps, because the traffic doesn't move past 5mph. Then I've gotta wait for the weekend.


Christ.

stop thinking of the bad bits..every car has them be positive and think of the good bits!!

OldDan

It does, loads of em.

But the little bits are just niggly bits, but they do my nut in!

JTECH James

i know what you mean...

i really do...

i have a mahooosive list of em


but to me if the car didnt have bits for me to do... iwouldnt want it cos id get bored with it

OldDan

The one that annoys me most is the huge key mark down two panels.

Would you believe an 70-80yr old bloke did this? Fucking prick, It makes me cringe each time I think about it, as soon as I find out which house he lives in , (as I know the road, he's done about 15 other cars in the area!), then hopefully he'll get what's coming to him.

I was gonna ask if you ever got this sorted out. I remember your post last year about it. Sometime after Ford Fair I think. I assume it's not sorted yet then?

bastard

i think most people would be happy to drive my car as it is, i try to keep it at a high standard, but i always want to do more ,not happy with this and that, cost me a fortune

OldDan

Was just after Trax, not had it sorted yet, was too busy saving for Amsterdam.

Makes me wonder if it's worth getting it done, it'll probably just get done elsehwhere!

PSL

You should, I had a similar thing done to my virtually brand new focus. I'd only had it a few weeks. I left it like it for ages and was on a real downer about the car but once I had it re-sprayed it started to feel good again. The best Ł150 I spent on it.

OldDan

Ł150?

Was that mates rates? Here's me thinking it's going to set me back Ł500?

Nick.

why the hell would someone of his age do that ??

OldDan

Because this is Salford.

Everytime I walk near it, but then again it is a disAstra

James

yeah i have times like that with my fiesta, except mine genuinely is a shed that should have been scraped 20years ago

It's got NOTHING going for it tbh, it truly is a dog and i don't know what i am doing driving it.

Apart from the sound it makes when you nail the throttle..

Nick.

oh.. that explains it

only jokin. id go set of something big and electric to screw with his pacemaker.. he wont do it again

PSL

Kind of (as in it was a friend of a friend who did the work), but I did have another quote at the same price and another at Ł175. There was alos one at Ł400+ too. But just shop around. I'm sure you'll feel a whole lot better about the car when you see it and it doesn't look like ot does now. I'm sure then all the enthusiasm (Sp?) will come back. There's nothing worse than sitting in traffic and someone looks at your car and your wondering whenther they like it, or are just smirking about the key mark down the side of it.

Maybe try putting a post up. I'm sure there will be somebody that can be recommended and most are willing to do a deal for cash.
