I was trying hard not to be prejudiced, but the more that burn the better!

They are the worst driven and maintained heaps of s**te on the roads - as new, many are Motability cars, which then end up on the forecourts of sub-prime finance dealers, to be flogged to rough families who struggle with the concept of birth control. Due to the 29.9% APR finance, there's no money left for maintenance, so tyres are often a mis-matched set of Ying Tong Iddle I Po part-worn specials, with the bare minimum of tread left - and annual servicing is an MOT from dodgy Dave... I believe the expert suggested that blocked pollen filters may well be a contributory factor. Which points to the lack of proper maintenance.

The only real road rage I have ever encountered came from a Zafira driver, maybe the car contributed to his bad temper?

I've had a Zafira B 1.8i Design hire car. I can fully understand why he'd be angry!

As curious, I looked up

to find out about the zafire. After a couple of clicks around, this came up:

"CONGRATULATUIONS £250 OFF AN ZAFIRE TOURER"

but wait:

"ON TOP OF ANY OTHER OFFER+ +Terms & Conditions Apply."

I've no experience of them, but wouldn't buy any car with a name that seems to have been generated by a Scrabble programme.

It's good to see the Grauniad's grasp of punctuation is as good as ever:

?We have some evidence that resistors in some of the cars that have burned are not original Vauxhall parts,? but copycats, the spokesman said.

Had one as works pool car. It was lethal. Night time on road covered with grey brown filth, same stuff up the verge and hedges so only the white line to go on. Came to a right hand corner and the white line vanished behind the pillar.

Seems the technique at right hand bends was if you could see the white line though the screen you were over the white line and if it appeared in the side window you had missed the turn and were crashing.

Oxymorons GM "Design" Ford "STYLE" Or is it just Irony?

My favourite is BMW ED (I suspect that they didn't get any input from a native English speaker on that one)

ED = Efficient Dynamics.

What's wrong with that?

With your age and health, I'm surprised you need to ask.
