Headlights look far better in the plastic :)

And it is pretty huuuuuuge, that's my mums Rover 214 in front of it, and it TOWERS over it.

Do you have those automatic wipers?
I wonder is nissan could market the units for an upgrade on its cars. Its just so much hassle turning them off and then on. Usually always on full blast if I 'm past cardiff its always f---kin raining there.

I like them, in an age where car design is dull and unexciting, I think Nissan (who in the past were probably the biggest culprits of dullness) are leading the field. I like the design of the new Primera too, especially the interior. The X-Trail ain't bad either. The Almera is a dog tho. ugh!

Congrats D

Speaking personally tho, I hate the bloody things.
Was behind one today and it is foul.
Oh btw let me know how the reversing goes - Nissan are obviously budgeting on the glazing down back...

SOrry guys, I know it is a personal thing, but on styling alone, I'd burn every one. Step back, sideways and slip over...

I'll have to get one outta the press office and see what it is like on the road.

thats a little harsh. Sometimes design breakthroughs take time to be understood. Look at the Delorean, a revolutionary car of its time yet only years after he went bust was the car truely appreciated even if its power lacked somewhat. I remeber the first reactions to the new mini they slated it yet 6 months down the line its another icon evenif it is German. The only car I know which is truly despised by 90% of the population is that Fiat MPV thing, cant even remeber its bloody name.

You know what they say about first impressions...:) books and covers and all that.

Think its called the Fiat Multipla or summink like that, should have been called the Fiat Goddamnuglyblaaaaaaaaaaaaah :D What the hell are those round lights under the windscreen :eek:

Anyway was following a new micra the other day and its about twice the size of the old one, was about double the height of the S14, i reckon you can stand up and drive the fecker :D Fraid at the mo i'm not a lover of them but good to see you are geting yourself sorted D ;) :D

Thats it cheers. What the f---kin kinda name is mutipla. Sometimes I wonder where Europeans get their inpirational ideas from.
I think the name Favorite by skoda is a close 2nd.
Is it me though or does fiesta sound really camp.
Yaris sounds a bit crap aswell.
Isn't Barrachetta some sort of bread and not actually a Fiat coupe.:D

A mate of mine had a Multipla as a company car, bloody awful!! The whole fleet had to go back in as the ABS failed, on every one of them!! Fiat even asked the dealer to let them know what the problem was cos they didnt have a clue!!
The air vents inside are even in the shape of a face, can actually give you a fright if its dark!
Still nothing more funny than 3 15 stone lads sat in front cruising about taking the pi$$ out of other multipla drivers who all flash and wave at each other!!

Oh and it was green, nicknamed the "green godess" or even simply "frog".

* hes got an A-class now.

D mate, it looks great! Wouldn't listen to somebody that thinks non wide body Starions look good!:D

Bet you've just spent the weekend cleaning it:cool:

D
03-03-2003, 11:53
I spent Saturday in Whitby and Sunday at work. The car is filthy :D

I went to Kendal and stayed in a cottage with a load of mates. The car is the dirtiest its ever been:eek:

Todays mission: CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN! Did the alloys when I got back last night as an incentive to do the rest today:)

Wasn't aware we were going to the Warrington cruise? Count me in if we are, though. Might as well embarass myself ;)

Keep it filthy, it will hopefully hide the fact that the car is bloody ugly. By the way, its a Micra, not a March.:rolleyes:

The badge on the back will say March, therefore it is a March ;)

I would've kept the S13 if I could, but I couldn't. Don't make me start with bitchy comments about dodgy start motors, unknown noises, and detonation.. :p

I really like my new car, it'll do me nicely for now :)

Thats all that matters then mate :)

Hope it does you proud :)

It's growing on me more and more each day, I'm continually impressed and endeared by and towards it. I'm really proud to be a Micra driver.

Yeah, I miss my 200, but this is how it has to be. And from all available options. I'm confident and content in my decision :)

It's not actually ugly, yeah it's different, and I was unconvinced when I first saw them, but they're really quite neat. Interior is comfiest thing ever, spec'd to the nines, so bite me :p

:cool:

Mate, dont let any dissing of you car get to you. theres a lot of us here that like them. Anyway its modern reliable econonmial, and will hold its value. Black is a class colour for a car. Just think how much you'll save on petrol and insurance, and not having to fork out on outragous running costs. I expect 18months down the road you'd save enough for a second car. Keep on driving. :D
