GD4ELI Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 What does the detail of that knowledge tell you about me? You need to get out a lot more? I think he just needs to get out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTucker Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Mine says that I am very very skint - skint enough to run on Diesel - and that if MOT's come in on the Island I am totally screwed. would the MOTs be a good idea? i know we'd all hate them but they would generate alot of jobs and revenue for garages etc and get the economy going. lots of ppl i know in the car industry are keen for them to be introduced. surely safer cars = safer roads never mind the speed limit, if theres more cars with airbags then less fatalies?

MrsTrellisfromNorthWales Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Well, It's a Metro City 1000, bought in Spring 1989, can't remember where mother bought it, maybe Douglas, could have been Castletown. As for you - I think a life should be high up on your to-do list :-) Definitely not a Rover Metro, then. Of course, the smallest K-series engine was a 1.1. You'll have the A+series engine.

simon Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Hopefully you're using the 50p a litre bio-diesel. That's the way to save up money! Is anyone selling biodiesel on the IOM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Not exactly sure where but they are, I heard it in the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VINDICATED! You are either very much the enthusiast or an ex employee, if the latter I suspect.... then no wonder you lot went bust.... your customer relations need tweaking somewhat. says Jake of the Vauxhall originally from Denbigh. As for your car GD4ELI, I would say you are an open and honest person, not flashy, down to earth and a caring and sharing kind of person.... the kind of person I would have around me anytime. It's not what you've got that matters btw.... it's how you use it. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU LOT DO NOT HAVE M.O.T's ON THE ISLAND! I'm on my way over there as we speak.... what a gold mine and what a difference a bung makes to certain officials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never owned a Metro. I've never worked for BMC/BLMC/BL Ltd/Austin Rover/Rover Group/MG Rover. I don't own a car any more. Too environmentally unfriendly.

Bella Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I currently own a Saxo VTS, which the previous owner lowered and added a Magnex exhaust too. It has a lovely scratch down one side from where I mis-judged a turn in my work carpark at 6:45 one morning, and the inside is currently covered in mud & dried grass because my boyfriend borrowed it to go camping last week and neither him or his mates cleaned their shoes before getting back in.... Based on the feelings of some members towards the manxpower forum, as well as the general state of the car at the minute I hate to think what it says about me!!!
