Advice on Cars

[milanbenes]

thanks for the feedback,

on consumption, what do you do with these kind of cars, is the consumption really any better on the ML270, or Toureg 2.5, or Sorento 2.5 etc ?

also, not confident the skoda will be good for 100k, although the oil and filters are changed regularly it is driven hard

well destiny will decide, I can't get to the garage where the disco is until early November, if they still have it I'll try to buy it, if not I won't.

Watch this space.

Milan.

tbh, if you only have the one baby then you don't need a disco...

These are good. Bullet-proof motor (never going over 2,000 rpm helps), loads of space and very safe - there's six feet of bonnet and a V8 between you and the front of the car, and other cars just bounce off it. Sorted.

Correct, but if you do hit something a little bit harder than the average eurocar - a tree perhaps - because the suspension/brakes/handling are so abysmal, then you have two tons of engine block sliding towards you and not even the faintest whiff of an airbag or crumple zone...

destiny eh...

the Disco was sold today

looks like it's the Octavia for some time more then, better change the oil in that case

good weekend all,

Milan.

milan, next time if you like a car then go for it quick, it seems to me that you had a good logical reasons for getting it.. don't expect any logical meaningful or god forbids useful advice from the bitter old contractors round here.. ... I'd love to have a Discovery or Jeep too. don't have a good reason really, just like the really really really big cars

[Joe Black]

What about one of these Milan, much more economical round town. Space wise?...well you could always by two of them!



Edit:

It's apparently a Lamborghini as well!

I though it was just the blokes that buy a really really big car cos of the size of their really really small dic*s.
Does that mean you got a small **** Sandy?

Lucky escape. The Discovery is a horrible thing to drive on roads. It's slow, unresponsive, rocks around all over the place and physically tiring to drive (ie you have to move your whole leg from the hip to use the clutch).

Anyway, there's a worrying trend on car posts on here. Simple Contractor rules state BMW or Merc for the man, Audi TT for the lady and Boxster for the Kid-Contractor. Those under 5'6" are also allowed dispensation for something like a Mitsubishi Warrior.

Skodas and Peugeot's? Permy cars!
