My condolences to you. :shake:

Audi drivers are worse cunts than BMW drivers, but Sainsbury’s car parks are a nightmare. Mrs RM twatted Polly on Sainsbury’s car park and she was never the same again.

I washed my Nissan Note for only the 3rd time yesterday. I have had it for 18 months. It wasn't even that dirty.

I don't like cars. :huh:

All cars drive in either direction. You simply engage reverse gear. :huh:

Or --- you can make a bootlegger turn and stay in one of your forward gears. I learned the maneouver in the southern Appalachians. (The wiki diagram has the car take way more space than needed.)
