6 month old Car has chip in windscreen, windscreen man turns up to repair it, spots another one as well. Repairs first, second one cracks whilst repairing it. New windscreen + camera calibration required🤬😡.

Fecking thing is doomed, super thin paint that marks as soon as you look at it and 3 weeks ago someone at work dropped something out of his van into the side door gouging the paint and putting a tiny dent in it.

"Even the lies?"

I sympathise. I remember when my Sister and B-i-L bought a brand new car and him saying never again as you notice every mark and are so nervous of parking it anywhere etc.

My dog can be a bit of a twat with strangers, hence she wears a big yellow coat with the words, 'Please do not pet - anxious dog' emblazoned on both sides.

Why then, did some woman come up behind me, stroke said dog on her back, reading the coat, carry on stroking the dog and quipping that she would wear one if they did them for humans..?

Just sat outside a bar having awesome wings :)

Right outside was a lovely looking Porsche. Four seater jobby but looked ace in silver.

Owner came and I was looking forward to the lovely exhaust note :)

It was a fucking leccy :(

I thought sports cars were about engines and sporty zorsts?

Boo !!!!

The hint should have been 'four doors'.

Proper sports cars don't have four seats, never mind four doors.

Google says:
The 2024 Porsche Taycan 0-60 times top out at a blistering 2.6 seconds when properly configured. That makes it one of the fastest Porsche models available
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

It's the 0-124mph time of 6.4s which is properly motoring. Literally ;)

Rear engined like a 911 too.
