you have to poke the obc display to stop it looking like a calculator on acid

[Duke137]

Your driving to work with a grin

[TopSod]

You're trying to figure out where the rattle/knocking/creaking is coming from when driving on a flat smooth road

[torquey]

Your feet are wet, there are particles of rust in your hair, you smell petrol and the car wont start.

[e30-EVN]
