Cat's do not like wet cars

Nagy Vilmos

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.

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.

That assumption is about as valid as all Canadians live in igloos. :rolleyes: Sorry to burst your bubble on that. :)

Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is. [Yogi Berra] posting about Crystal Reports here is like discussing gay marriage on a catholic church’s website.[Nishant Sivakumar]

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.

Nah, we assume some of you live with bears.[^].

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?

What a dull life you must live if you've got nothing better to do... :confused:

Do you mean "cars marketed under the Fiat brand" or also as any of the subsidiaries?

If you didn't know, I am not working at the moment and I have to get what joy I can. Anyway, the stupid cat shouldn't s[h]it on my car.

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

I don't like cats, so the car is still better than the moggy.

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.

Dogs are a man's best friend. Cats are a man's cute serial killer. Go chose.
