thumperson Posted 28July, 2017 Report Share Posted 28July, 2017 Yep. Be it dropping the son at school or every 10th kid stuck in peak hour with me raising their phone for a quick shot, making their day. I hope they get to drive one! Kids faces pressed against their own cars windows checking the car out always raises a smile and a thumbs up. ANF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 1August, 2017 Report Share Posted 1August, 2017 My inlaws are away at the moment and they have left their sliver C200 Merc with us while they are away. Mrs Jeff has been driving it to work for the last week, but after saying goodbye to head for work, she walked back in 2 minutes later telling me that she must be going crazy, but she can't find the key hole for the Merc. I mentioned she had been driving it all week, but she was struggling, and asked me to come out and help her out. I followed her out to the garage and watched as she got in the car and I started laughing uncontrollably. She had gotten into our Silver Audi and instead and hadn't noticed.

Lucky Phil Posted 1August, 2017 Report Share Posted 1August, 2017 Women and cars. I recall in 1995 we bought a Mazda Astina. It was the first car my wife had driven with electric windows. She was taking my daughter then 4 yo to kinder. My daughter said that night when i got home that it was very cold going to kinder. My wife figured how to open the drivers window by pushing the button, but did not realise that to close it you had to pull up on the switch, so she tried the next button. In the end 4 windows down in mid winter and running late for school so off they went with the wind blowing through the car. We still laugh about it from time to time. firstone, Fraz, LeeM and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 15August, 2017 Report Share Posted 15August, 2017 In between several Porsche & non Porsche minor repairs , I've been doing a bit of reading on brutalist architecture tonight.Didn't know this!https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/jun/03/film.hayfestival2005Goldfinger was known as a humourless man given to notorious rages. He sometimes fired his assistants if they were inappropriately jocular, and once forcibly ejected two prospective clients for imposing restrictions on his design.[4]A discussion about Ernő with Ursula, Goldfinger's cousin, on a golf course prompted Ian Fleming to name theJames Bond adversary and villain Auric Goldfinger after Ernő (Fleming had previously been among the objectors to the pre-war demolition of the cottages in Hampstead that were removed to make way for Goldfinger's house at 2 Willow Road). Goldfinger consulted his lawyers when Goldfinger was published in 1959, which prompted Fleming to threaten to rename the character 'Goldprick', but eventually decided not to sue; Fleming's publishers agreed to pay his costs and gave him six free copies of the book Carrera28 and grantmr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstone Posted 16September, 2017 Report Share Posted 16September, 2017 Started the boxster the other day and smelled rubber burning. Figured the serpentine belt to be the culprit. Thinking the worst, a bearing dry causing resistance. Turned out to be a small part of body sound deadening material just rubbing on the belt.Not terribly necessary. Snip, all fixed. ?Cheap thrills.
