Things I don't like -

People who drive and use their mobile phone at the same time.

Like the absolute sconehead in the Ford Ka who was too busy texting on his lime green iPhone 5C to realise he was moving to within a couple of inches of my rear bumper. Even using my horn, hazards and believe it or not, my brake lights he still nearly crashed into me all because his Instagram is more important.

The spanner then ran a clear red light.

I think I had a phone user in front of me this morning in a big pickup truck, either that or he was drunk, weaving all over the road and braking suddenly. Needless to say I didn't get too close to him. And at least 2 red light runners in my 20 minute journey.

I was so close to the Corsa in front that I could smell the Lynx body spray and imminent driving ban of its driver.

I think it's worse than drink driving as you are making the clear headed decision to be dangerous

Yep, also lots of red runners on my journey this morning.

One of them was a bus. The lights had been red for quite some time actually, but he approached, and accelerated straight through. Wonder if its worth sending to his employer, I get everything on dashcam.

I think he got 18 months in total, but the ability to knock 6 months off if he did that awareness course... But he didn't do it in time, so he had to do the full 18...

I'm after a 2nd hand transit... It's a nightmare trying to find one I can afford... Think I'll have to sell the focus to just get close to the price...

Prices seem to be coming down a bit at the moment.

I've been following Transit prices for about a year (I really want one to convert into a camper lol). The average price has come down by about £1000 over the last 6 months

I think they're still a bit out of my reach though :(

Are you handy working on fords? I'm just wondering what you'd look for regarding age/mileage etc, I'm not sure whether its be worth getting an AA look over on any potential van..

Not buying a new toy yesterday.

Checked out an RS3, the economy was going ok on the test drive, put the footdown blast it for a bit and you could literally watch the gauge on it drop at a rate of knots, scary stuff.

back to the drawing board, might just get another ST and chuck £8K on making it over 300BHP! want something that has a 0-60 under 6 sec easy and can beat a Golf R / S3 on the traffic light GP.

OT, Godalming where I work, FULL of tools who drive Saabs at 13MPH and have to stop to let everyone out at every jct, full of bell pieces who stand at a crossing no cars coming, they see me in the wifes motor and then press the light!!!!!! You SPEND LONGER WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE THAN JUST CROSSING AFTER I'VE GONE PAST YOU ********************************************************* I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WORDS AND EXPLETIVES DESCRIBE HOW IRRITATING IT MAKES ME WHEN PEOPLE / HUMANS / EARTH CLAN TRIBE DO THIS!!! RAAAAAAAAGE

At Least you Know Matt

I guess now is the time to start looking for another St new registrations are just out ,dealers want to clear their forecourts, you have ££ to burn you must be on to a winner ,good look in your search

Matt, those Saabs must come out for you! I don't see many about when in Godalming, (which is quite regaularly)

Things I don't like today

Waiting up for a delivery of more detailing gear for the car, it's like Christmas all over again lol

Being told to move outside my inlaws house by one of the school run mums (told her she'd have to wait)

Missing my pottery class for the 3rd week in a row :(

Yeah hardly seen any Saabs in Godalming either. In fact the number of Saabs in general has seriously decreased, they are hardly anywhere, from my experience!

I came across 1 old 93 conv, 1 93 Turbo coupe and a 95 waggen this morning!!!

I think they're still a bit out of my reach though :(

I've read the Transit Forum, and the general consensus appears to be that the engines are generally pretty solid...it's the rust you have to watch out for lol

Trusty Fords. :P

Today: being blamed for things at work which aren't even of my doing because someone didn't have the guts to say they'd done it themselves / didn't know who did it

Losing my phone at work last night and having to call it 9 times on the managers phone to retrieve it

The hiked up prices of Easter eggs on eBay, my daughter is after a particular one and the shops seem to have sold out :(

Anyone also tired/fed up with this weather? I'm longing for some proper sunshine, which we haven't had in a while.

... what is this "sunshine" you speak of?

all i know of is very high winds sending my wheely bin down the street and rain. endless rain

DM said the weekend is meant to be nice, but everywhere else suggests otherwise.

Going Alton Towers on Sunday, so I post this in advance, Queues!!!!!!!! Traffic!!!!!!

I hope it stays dry for you, Oblivion in the rain is not fun as I found out last year. It was just light rain to begin with, and then a heavy shower came out of nowhere while we were on the ride lol.

On the other hand, the rain makes going on Flume, River Rapids and Ripsaw slightly more bearable

Another thing I dislike:

Being told my insurance would be declined if I fitted a cruise control equipped steering wheel to my car.

what happens if a garage fits it is it the same situation ?

Exactly the same. I told them I'd get a Ford garage to fit the genuine Ford part.

People who drive close enough to see what colour my eyes are in my rear view mirror!

Drivers who travel at 40 in the 60, and 40 in the 30 i.e. they pick a speed they like and stick to it regardless!

People who follow me back to my car - IN THEIR CAR - when the car park is full in order to get my space. Sometimes I put the shopping in the boot, smile politely and walk off! But only if they've been annoying, usually if they smile pleadingly at me first I'll leave. :)

Non-car stuff...

The checkout girl in Asda who comments on every item of shopping I put through, she even insists on opening my newspaper and commenting on the articles I HAVEN'T READ YET... "OOh what do you think of this?" she says...I don't know I HAVEN'T READ IT YET!

She even sniffed a pack of toilet rolls once (which happened to smell of vanilla God only knows why!)
