Tell me about it... My accent wasn’t THAT bad tbh, it was the first model of the new era of Hyundai but still pain in the back especially the seats, god only knows how much pain i had on my spine cause of it. The Toyota I have now is awesome tho, great comfy seats , good handling and speed and low insurance cause its "only" a 1.8 :D

My First was a MKII 1987 VW Polo Coupe Calafornia (Which mean it had Yellow and Black go faster stripes lol) in White. I put some rather nice 5 spoke alloys on that and a few months later aquaplaned in Derbyshire and she ended her life on her roof!!

Next up was a MKII 1986 Ford Fiesta 1.4 S for £50 which was held together by the rust. That lasted about 10 months before I was duped into buing a MKIII 1991 1.0 Fiesta LX which died after 12 months.

I then bought a 1993 Volvo 480S which stuck like S*%t to a blanket in the dry but over steered like buggery in the wet (Fun but a little too hairy at times!!) This car ended up going sideways though a farmers field when I hit some Ice on the way to work. (Still got the parts if anyone wants to buy them?)

I then went all practical and bought a 1998 Volvo S40 CD which had all the kit you could ever want and did loads of miles. I still have him in the in a garage if someone wants to make me an offer?

I've had a 2007 Seat Leon FR TDi 170ps in red, followed by a 2008 Seat Leon FR TDi 170ps in Dark Grey and last Tuesday I picked up another Seat Leon FR TDi 170ps in Silver.

I fancy a convertible next though

The day after I passed my test I was given a Escort 55 Van from the company I worked for, so I suppose that was my first thing I had to drive.

First proper car I had was an MGZR, like this one.

The only thing different on mine was I had chrome washer jets, a shark fin aerial and blue inserts in the dashboard. Cracking little car, the only thing was the engine mount snapped after about two weeks and had to be replaced, other than that brilliant.

Then I moved to Lanzarote and just bought a cheap car, which turned out to be a Corsa the same as Dan´s. Same colour too.

Now, Im back in the Van world, with a new Transit Connect, which I love.

The Mini Cooper is waaaaayyyyy overpriced where I live, even the cheapest one sells for 24k+ and the Turbo goes for about 45k+. I can buy a Camry and a BMW 325 with that amount of money. I have seen them sold in other places for 18k.

I drive Mazda, funny little car, reliable and not a gas guzzler, great for the upcoming recession.


My wife however drives this, and the problem is always with refueling the hose just do not fit.


what do I do, does anybody here has some experience with this kind of problem?? Help would be much appreciated.

I'd be more concerned your wife is a plank of white rather than the refueling issue
