I have just discovered that Connecticut has a town called Mianus
I'm sure kids get a real kick out of living in Mianus. There's actually a "Wee Burn Country Club" in the area which is also causing me childish amusement.

Stupid place names, anyone?

There'a a very small village just outside Lockerbie called Twathats.
Which is pretty much a win all round.

Is it pronounced twat-hats or twath-ats?

There's a road in Bicester called Crumps Butts.
I've just ordered a cheese and bacon burger, in the hopes it might shift this hangover.
I feel horrid lights. Horrid.

If I give my ex the Volvo I may get an Alfa Romeo 159 sportswagen. Is Alfa's reliability as dodgy as is claimed?
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 12:34, Reply)

Yes. I looked. The write ups on them were "looks good, breaks down"

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 12:35, Reply)

Shame. Nice car.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 12:36, Reply)

They're not going to break down every other minute though, are they.

( Kroney, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 12:37, Reply)

Yes.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 12:37, Reply)

Not sure what to get instead.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 12:38, Reply)

Just get the Alfa.
As yet there haven't been many reliability issues. Just a bunch of "ooh, it's an Alfa, probably going to break!" shit.
( Kroney, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 12:40, Reply)

I don't do a lot of mileage. Plus classic car insurance.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 12:46, Reply)

If you don't do a lot of mileage, you don't really need to be worrying about reliability.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 12:56, Reply)

OK, well it sounds like you're trying to talk yourself out of anything interesting
so I'd suggest a diesel 3 series. Bullet-proof, powerful, good on fuel.
( Kroney, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 12:58, Reply)

If you don't do the mileage
don't bother with the diesel. You'll pay several grand more for, say, a 335D than for a 335 petrol. You'll take decades to save that back in fuel unless you're doing 5 figure mileages a year.

Not as such.
Well, the 166 I had once or twice had all the dials instantly go off the scale for a few miles or so, which I assume is a computer fault - but otherwise, they were fine.
