The cars and bikes thread!

Yeah, I really, really, really hate that so many car sellers think putting ACTs in the manual category is right. It’s an automatic. Don’t care what the mechanism is.

I reported all of the adverts for false advertising.

I was looking at the mileage on those cars for sale in the UK. Most of them have barely done a thousand miles a year. Some might have had three owners over fifteen years, each doing about 3,000 miles. The best part of £100k for a car that doesn’t get driven…

I know, it's a disgrace.

I know, a complete waste. I never understood the point of garage queens. Even when I was a kid and we had the Rolls, I didn’t understand we why had a car we could only drive occasionally.

Yep. I do like the 'pared down' dash and the (digi-) analogue dials.

"Resting" !....

I was out in the Brecon Beacons on one of my 'must do' roads (A4059 Penderyn to Pen y Fan) when it developed a rattle at the rear end which kinda spoiled the fun .
Turns out (they say) something has 'detatched' inside the exhaust box and needs a replacement. It's driveable but sounds terrible and is a bit embarrassing, so waiting for replacement back box before any more road trips...

No one buys supercars (British or not) for reliability.
