Did you get this on yours? It still drives pretty well but pumps out tons of black smoke when you put your foot down.
Mine still runs like a dream, currently (or until last week) was doing roughly a 300 mile commute Monday and Friday at circa 100mph mostly and not a murmur from it, no smoke etc.

Originally posted by escapeUK View PostI dont have an expensive car. I have a reasonable year old car, that gets me places without breaking down and like you say has reasonable fuel economy. Its to get me from home to contract. A Orion was never a "nice" car, its probably equivalent to mine in model terms.
Just because I wouldnt wear old raggedy clothes doesnt mean I must wear Armani.

Sad end to meet, at the hands of a Nissan Micra held together with gaffa tape

There is no clear indication that you might have a psychopathic / antisocial personality disorder.
You reached, however, 75.00% of Factor 1 which captures the core personality traits of psychopathy that define the interpersonal and affective deficits of this personality disorder (e.g. shallow affect, superficial charm, manipulativeness, lack of empathy) and that are correlated with narcissistic personality disorder, low anxiety, low empathy, low stress reaction and low suicide risk. But Factor 1 is also associated with extraversion and positive affect - affected persons usually score high on scales of achievement and well-being, so some aspects of the personality disorder may even be beneficial for the psychopath (in terms of nondeviant social functioning or if it comes to profit from manipulation or lies).
You reached, however, 27.78% of Factor 2 which captures the traits of antisocial behavior (e.g. criminal versatility, impulsiveness, irresponsibility, poor behaviour controls, juvenile delinquency) and is associated with reactive anger, social deviance, sensation seeking, anxiety, increased risk of suicide, low socio-economic status, criminality, and impulsive violence.
You might have certain traits of antisocial or psychopathic personalities but certainly not in a form that would justify a personality disorder diagnosis according to the standards.
Score: 18 of 38 [18:12/5/1]
There are strong indications that you might have a narcissistic personality disorder.
There are slight differences between the major diagnostic manuals in how to diagnose a narcissistic personality disorder, with the ICD-10 manual stating that a person may only be diagnosed with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder if she/he does not meet the diagnostic criteria for a dissocial (antisocial, psychopathic), histrionic or any of the other personality disorders at the same time. For the DSM-IV manual, there is no such exclusion. It is unusual for NPD personality types to seek therapy, as they unconsciously fear exposure or inadequacy and will usually disdain therapeutic processes or the idea of psychotherapy itself, sabotage the therapeutic process or openly oppose it. Pharmacotherapy is rarely effective.
