Trewithy Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I posted this image on another thread a few days ago but I thought it is better suited to this to this topic: You would have thought they could see the road wasn't wide enough for two cars to pass!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Vauxhall quite understood the title of "Limited" The people or "kids" that drive them, give the car a worse reputation that what they already have Reminds me of this...

jace1969 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Ok this is weird,handed my Corsa in 12 months ago, after i handed it in it aint on the DVLA site,says ring. All i can think it was brought and a month later smashed up,was on ford for sale for a good 3 months then when it went i checked it and nothing. It only had 28k on the clock and 1 owner. Must only last till 28k pops up then scrap it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody bought it, hopefully they sold it to a military training zone and it just got blown up for target practice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSMarsden Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 When I worked in a dealership somebody came in to trade in their limited edition Corsa. He wasn't too happy when I said that Limited stood for Limited Value..... (Which is true!) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Saw a c***a and a za***a get wiped out by an ambulance responder in Bradford last night. Totally the responders fault as he flew through a red light blues flashing but across a six lane junction. Sweet result however to take two out in one crash.

GMX Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Behind the PO I use for my mailing out needs, there's a small free car park for customers from any of the five businesses that share the building with the PO. There are about 12 parking spaces, four of them were occupied by what can only described as an abandoned, rather than parked Zafira, right across the bays at an angle of 15° Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are only supposed to proceed through red lights at 5mph (same for me too) so totally to blame. That's their job blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Agreed he must have been doing 50 easy took the whole front off the c***a and the side of the zaf caused chaos at the junction as well See my parts for sale on thread "philf1s Spirit Blue Fiesta ST180 parts for sale" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmurray01 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm not sure I'd call a car with 47k models in the UK "limited"... choose files... Click to choose files 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMX Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 In the correct use of the word limited: they are, as is everything made. I have just unpacked a "limited" edition loo roll in the bathroom There's not 47K of them in total, that's for 2015 alone. Across the four models there's 139,732 of them. The batch number on the loo roll packet is lower than the total number of limited Edition Corsas. Therefore, we can probably deduce, my loo roll is "rarer" than the limited edition Corsa 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, we can probably deduce, my loo roll is "rarer" than the limited edition Corsa No, unless I'm mistaken it is giving the figure of how many vehicles of that specification are currently licenced (taxed) and on the road, not how many are newly licenced. For example, looking at an older model you can see the figures decrease as more are declared SORN or scrapped: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 One of the main roads near me was blocked this morning, it was around a 30/40 mph section, so not fast. Just found out from a local news site, it was an overturned car (how at that speed?), but guess what, it was a Vauxhall Tigra! Why do they all want to end up on their roofs!?!

alexp999 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Unfortunately I think there are just too many of them infecting our roads, which means for every 1 on its roof, there are another 10 managing to balance on 4 wheels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is made in limited quantities, nothing is made in true infinite quantities. There may be millions of something made, but it is still limited to millions Therefore loo rolls are as limited as are Corsas, toothbrushes, pineapple shaped cushions with a smiley face on, space shuttles, etc My loo roll comes from a batch numbered 124,003. Thus in that particular batch my loo roll is one of 124,003, assuming batch numbers increase incrementally between batches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
