Similar to jags, when you push to start the dial rises out of the center console

That was a close call then, irreplaceable items, glad you got them OK but the rigmarole should be unnecessary, Rick

New car arrived today

Should be greatful, but, Merc A180 CDI AMG

Great to look at

Comfy seats even for the more generously proportioned chap

A BMW 118 has a 2.0l motor

A Merc A180 has a 1400cc TD unit, 106 BHP

WTF
It sounds like a wasp in a bean tin and you really have to shake the little blighter to make it move

Seroiusly dissapointed wth Merc....
please can I have my 320d BMW back

Wasn't you Alex but someone had a go tonight.
Car in front stopped a bit peculiarly, as the cars in front of it didn't, I started slowing up and then really had to stomp on the anchors and the abs kicked in.
The chap behind me wasn't as keen on his brakes

solarman216 · 30-09-2015, 21:22

guess you are the blue motor? Rick

jims-terrano · 30-09-2015, 21:25

Crickey, hope everyone is ok

Sweety · 30-09-2015, 21:28

Ouch

hope your ok mate

solarman216 · 30-09-2015, 21:41

yes sorry, focused more on the practicalities than your well being, so hope you are OK, Rick

The Patrolman · 30-09-2015, 21:45

Thanks chaps

It Was a bit of a thump but I was fairly well braced expecting to nudge the fool in front.
Hopefully I will avoid the whiplash effects

I know how long they can last as the wife is still suffering a year on from the accident that started this thread

Thankfully I was in the car on my own as was the gent that hit me

Fortunately it was a short stretch of road between roundabouts so the speeds were relatively low
