Default That F##king Car !!


In true Moneypit style ,I have just spent two and a half grand getting the paintwork sorted , took the car back for some final mopping , where upon the indicators decided to pack up on route.
Now tried to pick the 'Pit' up from the paint shop and she won't fire up.
Turns over but no spark !
Car should have been in storage a month ago !
Aaaaaargggghhh
My patience is running thin.

Lol... look, that car quite clearly doesn't like you/whereitlives/the cold/snow/lack of use/ fluffy kittens/anything it interacts with.... Basically, it's Audi's equivalent of Vinnie Jones with his knackers in a cable tie....

I'd consider writing a will, and bequeathing it to someone you really don't like, because it clearly doesn't like you..

Yours, as ever.... Ian.

Halloween is gone, but you might find a priest with some unused exorcism tokens left...

You are so right.
I have the most temperamental bitch of a car ever.
Totally ungrateful car , after 17 years and many thousands spent she has never run properly with everything at any one time.
I am truly p#ssed off with it.

Lofty, sorry to hear about your troubles with your car but these little problems have happened to us all, there is no need to stick you head in the gas oven yet, as you can see from audi80fan's reply with youtube link, well the youtube link did put a smile on my face first thing in the morning, sorry no advice about fixing your car problem.
What is the make and model?
