Just wait until a stone hits that screen and it needs replaced, that's when you discover the cap on the amount your insurance will pay out for glass replacement :LOL:

Suppose it depends on the insurance company, can't see anything on my Directline policy......

You might be ok, I'd check though. I notice my windscreen excess has gone up from £50 to £100 after making a claim, that'll be so the can say it doesn't effect your ncb.....

It's a little known phenomenon in this country called "The Sun".
 
I drive a BMW M3, I use it to commute to Coventry every week from Hampshire, don't know how long I can keep it up though with the raising fuel costs :(

Ouch....bet your local petrol station loves you.

I drive a 52 reg Impreza WRX, thankfully I only do a 30 miles per week commute, the MPG is appalling :)
 
I drive a TDCI Fiesta. I wanted something cheap to run because I do over 450 miles a week. Bloody awful car! It's in the garage again at the moment. Uncomfortable ride, poor interior, poor radio and just poor quality. I regret selling the Ford Focus I had to buy it. Had it for years and had very little bother with it.
 
Honda Integra Type R here. Thinking about a change soon though for something more sensible!

Very nice Dave, my son wants to change his car next year, one of these would suit him fine, but he currently has his mind and heart set on a nearly new 1.6 TDCi Titanium Mk3. He drove one at Top Gear Live on Saturday and that's just made him want it even more.

i took a shine to the 2.0 TDCi i test drove... with 163bhp... very quick!

But sadly i didnt have the funds lol!

i really cant complain at this one either, i;m getting 10-12mpg better than my last diesel!
 
Having a bit of a love hate relationship with my Ibiza at the moment..

It loves to wear bits out and I hate paying for them :LOL:

This week has seen £480 for new steering rod end, suspension check and re-level, diagnostic check for an intermittent immobiliser fault (which they think will be another £300 to resolve) and 2 new tyres..

Last week chipped and cracked the windscreen which auto glass fixed for free luckily but the crack is still there so that may cost me.

I had the DMF, Fuel System and clutch, plus 4 tyres to replace all at the same time... hence the new purchase!! was looking at £4500 of work on a car thats worth £1200....

Oh yes - made a little difference to my bhp, up about 30 along with the tuned length exhaust manifolds, but nearly all the torque comes in at 2K revs - very nice.

As a friend of mine who used to have one of those put it - the one with the special handle on the back so you can push it without getting a bad back!

I preferred to refer to it as my picnic table :D luckily it was kind to me and I never had to push it, well only with my right foot.
