i had a slow puncture and i was loading some lead at the same time on an extension i was doing and the home owner said the lead was theres and trying to say it never weighed that much the flat tyre said different lol
i like how my car refuses to drive with a stutter every now and again until you give it a burst of 7000rpm lol. will go forever sweet as a nut afterwards then

just occasionally the fuel gauge light comes on and the reading goes off the scale. a quick thump to the top of the dash sorts that.
the indicators sometimes refuse to self cancel till you hit the steering wheel.
every radio station within 5 miles of my house has a "pulse" (bear in mind i only have a LW/MW tuner)
then the usual vaux characteristics, dash rattles ffom one place, clutch pedal, slightly ominous clunk...

I love the way my clocks pop out and the dials go wild each time I hit a speed bump a bit too hard............

i love the way mine erm, theres nothing wrong with mine lol

It does have one issue, you own it, poor thing lives its life in fear of being hacked to pieces lol hence its good behaviour
i love how my car just bounces around and never kicks out Tis much fun
I love how mine failed its mot and has cost me £100 to fix, but apart from that I cant think of anything wrong with it except the dent and a few scratches. Hopefully back on the road for next week when I have a week off.

I love the dodgy fuel guage and the fact it randomly idles at 3k for a few secs then gets pissed off with that and goes back to 1k lol
Lol my old XE did the same sometimes, so does my Mi16 but thats a whole different forum lol

I like the vibration you get through the entire car as the exhaust sits on the rear beam as its so low, cut section of mtb tyre FTW lol

i love that i have to knock on my dials for my fuel gauge to wake up
And i love that i have to tap the right of the dials to get the right hand side bulb on. Also, i love how my hazards have to be pressed several times before they turn off.
I love the way mine can do 0 to 60 in 6.4 seconds and then wants to tickover @ 600rpms then turn off.
Also the way the fan wanted to stay on @ combe then turned off after about 20 mins.
Bloody nova's.

I love it how my 20 year old car can beat a lot of expensive new cars.I love to see there sorry faces.lol
i like how bumpy it is although my back and neck dissagree
I love the way she leaks petrol and cuts out when cutting it fine on roundabouts
fuel gauge sometimes earths it self out and goes round to the full mark lol
and the fact i can nearly never get in in first and second
...my nephews mates have stopped calling my car names after I scared the poo out of one of them by taking him for a spin (several actually)
.....my Nova:
Idles off a cylinder. And at about 1-1250k rpm. Depending on temp, mood and how hard the altenator is working.
Rasps it's Ashley baffles at 3k rpm every gear and produces a loud grinder like noise. Turns heads up the town anyway lol .
Has lazy temp/fuel gauges, a tight slap to the clocks wakes them up.
Starves itself of petrol when I overtake on a bumpy main road. :eek:
Has an exhaust that is lazy and therefore lies on the back axle.
......
Now some things that I actually like about it lol :
Has a little 1200 that refuses to bust....does lots of miles nearly every week.... taps the valves mosts days ....and the gets the ignition flicked at the top of 2nd regularly.
Some people actually think its a GSi til I tell them.
It hasn't got one rust hole anywhere!
the fact ive greased my brake and clutch pedal and the frog still hasnt gone lol
ive got rid of the clutch frog
cantt kill the brake one!!!
ive got rid of the clutch frog
Oops i forgot about that one. And the clunk that has developed on the front drivers side, top mount I suspect
Love the way my petrol light comes on at half a tank but doesnt come on when ive run out
My clutch frogs name is frank
I love how my hazards came on whilst indicating left for a slip road and got me pulled over ooopes
My clutch frogs name is frank
lmfao!
I love pushing stripped out track 205s/porsches/skylines/imprezas/ernie's track car up the M4 :d
As for the celica, I love corners. Especially now all four wheels are pointing the same direction lol

yours has huge problems, the engine isn't big enough and it needs painted lol, get it done man, be a smart car when its finished. this is the last engine i'm putting in for a while, and cv's count as consumables, same as tyres, gearboxes, wheels bearings and your underpants when you're in the passenger seat lol. going for a quaife LSD so should stop it spinning the inside wheel as violently, shouldn't kill 'boxes every 5 mins either. get my intercooler and bits to put the engine in at the end of the month, cant wait. i have an XE on webers that would be right at home in yours;)

Mine does/did that too!
Put £5 of fuel in, and the guage goes off the scale!
i have a new love. i love how the steering sometimes goes dodgy on fast right hand bends, makes it feel like you getting major understeer when your really not. certainly gets the heart pounding lol
^ That'll be the car bending lol
