Embarrased in a 16v

[jaygee]

I am now at the stage where I am really peed off with this bloody Almera..I avoid driving the thing it's got a lot of really annoying faults.. The final straw was when I went into Tesco car park and some old bird of 70 was parking a similar almera and she smiled at me ..Mind you there are some advantages having a bit on the side ,especially when she takes her teeth out.

The doors are so curved that when you open them the first thing to hit anything close is the edge of the door and not the rubbing strip on the side of the door. The click click from the indicators is deafening..You have to push the remote twice to open passenger door,once only opens the drivers door,supposed to stop hijackers jumping in the passenger door.
I am trying to dis -able this as I might get rid of the ole woman and the Almera together.
The drivers seat is too far back it's like driving from the back seat ...........I could go on but it only depresses me.

My latest thing is to keep stopping at car lots and showing the wife all the different we could have got for the price of the almera....The only time I enjoy anything Almera related is looking at the owners club website and seeing 'em all trying to big 'em up....I'll go on and tell 'em what I think......aint heard much from my son since he took the 16v only one day he rang to say the power steering seems heavy..I told him to eff off and take it to a vw dealer ..It still rattles me to think of him and his p*ss head mates all roaring round in my car..

legendary!

no offence mate but i could of though of about 50 cars that i would rather have other than an almera for that sort of money! they are built by my kind,mackems (not geordies for you uneducated people - geordies are from newcastle and mackems are from sunderland) but then again no matter what they call them they are usually pissed!!

get it traded in for something german!

lets just hope ur son doesnt crash ur valver!!

I get the feeling that this here Almera is not going to last too long.  Keep us posted jaygee and just get the valver back off your son as I get the feeling he's not appreciating it and ragging the @rse off it. 

they are built by my kind,mackems (not geordies for you uneducated people - geordies are from newcastle and mackems are from sunderland)

Now now, Neaty, we're not all stupid you know, some of us know all about the mack 'em and tak 'em story.

I've got a good photo of my boy with the vw (I feel a pr*ck calling it a valver).I use this photo as the wallpaper on the computer.How can I get the picture onto this site..

I'M off to a model shop in Skegness today to see if they've got any good models of vw's  that I can make,like the old airfix ones..sad aint it

Did the same thing when I stopped riding motorbikes .I missed them so much 30 years later I bought a BMW when I sold it some pratt came to look at it ,I let him ride it and he dropped it,turned out he was a copper with no insurance...He bought it though and then had to get it repaired...

I might start to sabotage the almera so it plays up when the wifes driving.A bit of wet paper under one of the plug leads should get her a few miles away before it dries out and starts missing..........Better go now she's just got up...she looks really cute first thing in the morning !!!!!!!!

To post pictures you can either load them into the gallery, click the gallery link below the search bar, or you could sign up on www.photobucket.com (its free) and upload pics into there and then copy the third text field below the pic and copy it into this thread and it should display the picture. 

I'm sure trim is going to start falling off that Almera soon !

Now now, Neaty, we're not all stupid you know, some of us know all about the mack 'em and tak 'em story. 

ah well good to hear, but alot of people stereo type us to all being gerodies, it doesnt really bother me tho to be honest - being living in the north west for 15 years but i just like to make a point!

The wife has been using the heap of crap for work for a week and she tells me the battery light keeps giving the odd split second flash..god knows  why..I can't even find the enthusiasm to lift the bonnet.. I know the engine was washed before we got the car so probably something to do with water getting in somewhere..

My boy is very quite about the vw so must be going o.k ...Little sod is too quiet ,he usually rings a couple of times a week...

When my wife gave birth to him he was so ugly .The first time she brought him home I thought she had left the baby at the hospital and brought the afterbirth home..
