    What kind of car do you drive? I've been looking at cars here in the States and the only car manufacturer that features automobiles with a bonnet seems to be Mini Cooper. It's tempting to get one because I like quirky things. I pretty much assume everyone in the UK drives a Mini.

      It was the family car, a Renault_Grand_Scénic[^]. If it was my fun car[^], the cat would be in orbit.

      I don't even think you can buy a Renault in the USA. Do they still make those?

        I'm in Michigan so I run into Canadians every day. I'm not a racist. I even have a couple as friends. Oh, and I know some of them live in log cabins and elk skin tents.

              Fiat recently bought up a big chunk of Chrysler. Neither company has a very good reputation over here (for reliability). I think a Fiat 500 would be fun to own - what is the reputation of Fiat in Europe? Are they reliable?

                There was a cat sat on the bonnet of my car. Once the car got wet* it left. * One bucket of water delivered from the window above.

                      Nagy its a Renault Grand Scénic its already a big pile of poo, the cat probably improved it

                      You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

                          I'm quite sure it didn't actually shit on your car. Most cats have more taste than that. ;P

                                Well my missus nudged into one in a car park 3 years ago and the wanker driving it put in an insurance claim for over 600 quid including a broken rear window. So either they're not very reliable or their owner's are lying sunshines.

                                  There are some Alfa Romeo's that aren't too ridiculously priced if you buy them second hand.

                                        Well my missus nudged into one in a car park 3 years ago and the wanker driving it put in an insurance claim for over 600 quid including a broken rear window. So either they're not very reliable or their owner's are lying sunshines.

                                          There are some Alfa Romeo's that aren't too ridiculously priced if you buy them second hand.

                                          Um. He did mention the "R" word - which can't even be used in the same sentence as "Alfa Romeo" (or "Lancia" either, my first car was a Lancia)
