stanski Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Fumbled about this morning and managed to spill hot water down the handbrake and centre console area from my thermal mug - fortunately its just water not coffee - handbrake light was on and off for most of trip - hopefully it will dry out and be ok - also found the mug does'nt fit in the door cup holder too tall - oh well no food or drinks in the Zed then!

AndySpak Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I ban eating and drinking in all of my cars. Girlfriend drives me mad when we stop for petrol and she sneaks a bag of crisps into the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I ban eating and drinking in all of my cars. Girlfriend drives me mad when we stop for petrol and she sneaks a bag of crisps into the car I dont let that happen either, no food or drinks at all in the cars that i have had, that way it stays clean, smells nice and i dont have to worry about stains. If they do, it gets thrown out the window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu R Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I disallowed eating in mine after the bag of skittles incident, seriously they are the worst things ever, finding one weeks later forever stuck to something. Another thing that winds me up is the way (women especially) slam and open the car door. Every time I have to remind my gf not to just throw the door open and nearly snap it from the hinges. It made such a noise last time she did it it made me cringe. I say ban all women and girlfriends in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 I say ban all women and girlfriends in general Oh hang on bit harsh !! But I know what you mean - they dont take the care. Sadly I was speaking to a mate from my old company and talking about this gal we both worked with - and she said oh yes Stan I remember he always told me off for slamming his car door!!!(I had a new MR2 roadster then.) Nice to be remembered for the right reason! Paranoia is a wonderful thing......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say ban all women and girlfriends in general. Get her trained! My missus is very good at getting in and out very carefully. I made it very clear any damage she causes to the car she is paying for. From then on she's been very good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I use the the black drink bottles (with the push down cap) that are made for bicycle holders and fit the MY06+ door bottle holders a treat. As I am on a diet (Mrs Ebized thinks its for her and the quacks benefit but for me I'd noticed the weight was affecting the car's performance ) so no food in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I totally disagree - men are far worse! My husband Mike has a new BMW and it's like a skip. His excuse is that he 'lives' in his car and it's his office. He eats big macs, kentucky fried yuk and god knows what else in there, as well as smokes and throws his rubbish on the back seat - it's gross! I on the other hand have an immaculate car with no crumbs dust or anything. He parks as close to the door of a supermarket as he can and consequently has been hit twice already - I park at the other end and walk! And I know LOTS of men the same as him. It's not a male/female thing it's purely whether you're a car person or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Nixy he's got a BMW - let him trash it - better of with Zeds!! Most people are either messy or not messy generally - either in a car and house or one or the other! I always kept all my cars mint inside even 20 year old Vw beetles - way I look at it - you would'nt sit in a chair full or crap why drive in one? Each to their own I guess.........

martinmac Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Roof down may work I used to carry a bottle of blachcurrant cordial jammed in behind the passeger seat until Liz decided to play with the seat controls while I was getting petrol.

If a car wants me to spend some of my precious time with it, it better provide me with better thrills or a bigger smile than a Beemer can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seats are stained with chocolate & drinks. My Z though is cleaned weekly & Nobody eats or drinks in there, nobody gets in with dirty shoes & I park it miles from any entrance if I do take it shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news my handbrake cable warning light is now working properly and car is nice and dry again!

nixy Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 you mean you wear shoes in your car? Only joking - but I do take them off before I get in it if I've just cleaned it and my feet are dirty......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 you mean you wear shoes in your car? You mean you wear clothes in your Zed??? Oops! Should have I not mentioned that?
