Focus is about the right size/class, but not a focus! In other news just found out that if my finance can get sorted in time I might be able to pick it up this weekend, is a 300 mile round trip to get to the dealer though :(

I learnt to drive in a Corsa D and found it a bit... numb and boring. My sister is however looking at buying one so I did go on a test drive with her in one. Think bigger, but not much bigger, like Astra competitor.

So this car's time with me is coming to an end - I've put down a deposit on my first non-micra car! More details once finance and insurance has been sorted out, but internet points for anyone who wants to guess! But I'm definitely going to be sticking around the MSC as the appropriate forum was...

To me that looks like very late-K11 era. Not quite K12.

They're a pain in the ass to even service compared to a CG, and I kind of feel that having owned both, the CR just isn't as good, way more torque but just doesn't feel as alive or willing to rev it's ****ing nuts off.

That's probably a good thing you know - Every time my parents cars break down they steal mine! If mine breaks down the "insurance is too much" for me on theirs, despite both of their cars being lower insurance groups than mine, and I'm told to get my things and head for the bus stop! I think...

Friend of mine's got a pair of these in his Sunbeam Stiletto, they hold rather nicely and are comfy to boot! Out of an Escort or a Cortina or something like that aren't they?

The size of that glovebox is awful compared to the K12 one! I'm convinced I could hide a dead body in there!

If you think your car is girly, just check the colour of mine. The amount of abuse and mockery I get about it is beyond belief :P

Who are you insured with Jen? When I told Churchill I was now working as an IT Consultant this time last year they were like "Oh well that'll be another £150 on top of your renewal..." and when I asked why on god's green earth they said "because it now covers any driving you might do at work"...

I actually replaced it literally like a week ago! I do know a friend who has an actual clio though who had the mirror stolen off his Trophy last night, which he's still peeved about. I'll let him know for you :P

Changing a bulb on a K12 - get ready for an unnecissarily complicated and lengthy job. We usually have to get the whole lamp unit out of ours and even then it's a pain.

The comma makes that sentence flow properly, but it could have done with being a properly ended sentence, bloody grammar. I think an alarm was an optional extra but as standard they don't come with them. Just immobilisers. My evidence being, locking a friend of mine in my car with the key...

Not a motion sensor I don't think, the K12's don't have alarms? My guess would be a microphone for a car phone kit?

Mine hit 46,000 yesterday (marking exactly 20,000 miles in my ownership!) and I thought that was a big milestone haha.

Might have to try that with my one. Actually had nissan replace it when I got the car as I thought it was just broken. Two weeks later my friend broke it again and then broke the rear-door cover trim on the same day - bloody excellent, wasn't impressed haha!

Yeah just the plastic cover on the passenger side. If you had one that'd be excellent, would rather my money go to an MSC member than lining the pockets of Nissan!

I tend to stick to downloading things at work, as it now speedtest's higher than this when we're not hammering the line, and we've got two of these fibre lines :P At home it's a little more broken/underwhelming, usually ranges between 10Mb/s (what we pay for) and 0.02, (when they're fudging me...
