| 1487105 | 2022-06-28 22:46:00 | My car is away being fixed after it's long wait for the damage when someone backed into me . I have a loan car - a Hyundai Getz? or some such. I hate it. Other than feeling like I'm sitting on the road, and the difficulty getting in and out, no way can I get - even folded - mums wheelchair in it. I can, just, get her walker in....folded. Sadly we have to empty her under seat bag every time, yes she carts all sorts of stuff round. I miss my car!! Or SUV? It is a baby SUV but still, much better for getting in and out and the room in back! I leave one seat in place for brother, but even with just one folded up, heaps of room for wheelchair, without even being folded. With both seats up I got a boxed oven in it once. And those nongs who say we don't need SUVs....It is only 1500cc...no 4wd... |

| 1487109 | 2022-06-29 08:06:00 | My first was an E93A. Great little car but needed a lot of mechanical work to keep it on the road back in the early 60s. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1487110 | 2022-06-29 08:58:00 | Did it leak oil? :D | B.M. (505) | ||
| 1487111 | 2022-06-29 09:21:00 | What? Oil leaks on British fine engineering? Never, it's just the engine giving the concrete driveway a grease and oil change! Shame on you for insinuating that British made cars leak. Ken:):);) |

| 1487112 | 2022-06-29 13:30:00 | If any British machinery doesn't drip oil, top it up immediately - it has run out of oil. Triumph m/cycles especially so - no leak, don't start it. ;) |

| 1487113 | 2022-06-30 03:14:00 | Oil leaks on British fine engineering?) Our British motor dripped a bit...but after 100,000miles, not long at all really, never mind drips...it was drinking 4 litres of oil a week! Anyway got my car back, it's clean too, inside and out. And they said next time, lol....., I can let them know and they'll give me something more suitable for stuffing wheelchairs in. Nice of them. Good panelbeaters really. |
