iveco

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Trust you to have a car with a never before seen fault. Have you been driving it along on the starter to save diesel? ;)
Interesting for the starter to be intermittently seized but as long as you have it fixed so you can get back to work.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Just do what all builders do, suck your teeth and say "it's not gonna be cheap"

A bit native? Hmm, I've never met a British builder whose company motto was a quote from St Bede and that in spite of my not being far from the Holy Island so I'd say very native, very native and a little Eric!

Admit it, you're Cantona and you've been pretending to be a British builder called Rich. :P
