    Thumbs up Which quirk does you car have?

    We've done in-car luxury, now how about in-car annoyance?

    My aged Range Rover, Linus, has developed some unpleasant little quirks that are fine by me, but badly annoy any passengers.

    His computer cuts out power sometimes, then cuts it back in again.

    His air susspension pops up and down when sat in traffic, like an American poser's vehicle bouncing about.

    He's developed a serious drink problem :

    All the local birds collect sultanas from my neighbour's bird table then sit eating them on Linus. He slowly going from dark green to white
    "The Jaguar's going cheap"
    "Shouldn't it be purring?" :confused:

    Mind throws steam out the exhaust. A peculiar thing happens to me when I drive Caroline's car. People think that crashing into me is a good idea.
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    Which quirk does you car have?

    The Fuel Cap- only god know the right combinations of turning the key and twisting the cap to get it open.

    The glovebox isn't big enough for the owners manual

    4th gear hasn't got any use.

    It turns girls that sit in the passenger seat into lesbians

    Some would argue that's a good thing

    Maybe it would be if I had two girls in the passenger seat at the same time

    It's not fun unless you can get involved. Hence why I think strippers are pointless. Boobs but you can't touch them? What's the point in that?

    Anyhoo back on topic

    I've actually just thought of another one for my car. The pedal on the right hand side only seems increase the noise level.

    But as James May says 'The whole point of a small Fiat is that you have a tiny engine, select first, lift the clutch abruptly, mash the throttle pedal to the floor and when, and only when, the valve gear bursts through the bonnet, select second. Repeat the process until all the gears are used up.'
