[QUOTE=Hezzy;51137634]I used to do that with my old Ford Focus Ghia 2000 (looked like a Mondeo) whenever I was about to change the tyres
Can't do it with my Honda CR-Z cos it's FWD
Also in other news I test drove a Tesla Model S P90D a few weeks ago. Currently trying to decide if I should take my sweet brexit profits out of my portfolio just to put up the deposit for it. The monthly PCP cost is actually pretty baller when you factor in fuel savings. I'm spending £200 p/m on my current car finance and about £250 p/m on average for fuel, so I'd actually be saving money as weird as it sounds.
Or I might just wait until the Model 3 comes out, but I want to see what the speed specs are like on it before I slap down the reservation fee[/QUOTE]
Focus is fwd too???

Yeah...how the hell would it work with a RWD/4WD anyway? Kinda need something to pull you along the road so you can pull sick maccies drifts.
Back at Amazon. Bleh.
One day people will realise that allowing anyone to add options is a bad idea, but that day has not come. We had to vote on a film in our halls and:

reminds me of a poll that went up on one of our uni groups asking what you were doing after graduation
I added something along the lines of 'killing myself'

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;51140236]I'm the only southerner in my flat, ive got two northerners and two french girls, what do i do
[editline]2nd October 2016[/editline]
why are there french people everywhere[/QUOTE]
theres loads of chinese and germans where I am
I think I managed to convince a couple of them im a half german from Ulm with my broken austro-german that my father taught me
[I]Könnte ich einen Titten ficken bitte?[/I]
my flat mates are mostly southerners, got a dude from wales who we all mock, another from essex but hes actually turkish/Cyprus. Its cool though because a girl in my flat is from West Sussex, and then the next door flat who we are always with for pre drinks and chilling, theres another dude from West Sussex. So we are all like a couple of miles apart from each other back home :v:

"working tumble dryers" hahahahha
I love how pissy us lot in halls get about basic stuff like that
I was in my reception the other day talking to the receptionist about getting my phone back, and some dude just casually walks in and tells her "the showers are fookin' shite" in a thick Yorkshire accent. I couldnt stop laughing when I was walking away
My floor only went and made a 3 chicken Sunday roast for all 13 of us, and not only that it was actually pretty goddamn nice. Took pretty massive co-ordination of both kitchens and the washing up was awful (and some of it still needs doing) but it went off very well.

I could've sworn it was RWD but it looks like you're right!
I've tried with with my CR-Z which I know for certain is FWD but it doesn't work, so I figured my Ford was RWD. Welp
Our freezer at uni's been fucked since before we moved in so I've been defrosting it after the maintenance bloke said he would only fix it after it's defrosted. been an absolute fucking trial of wills but I'm almost done.
been slightly difficult [sp](hilarious)[/sp] thanks to my flatmate deciding the best way to dispose of the ice is to throw it out the window of our 3rd story room

We used to chuck shit out of our window all the time - burnt toast, rotten eggs etc. onto the flat below and it became a bit of a war between the two flats.
One of my housemates was notorious for it - when he went to a party in the flat above he forgot where he was and managed to egg our own flat :goodjob:

We've got fruit going out one window and cutlery out the other :v:
Cutlery was aimed at the sink and flew out the window behind, bananas were a bit off so one of my flatmates threw them at someone walking past who she didn't like.
This is why no one likes students

I can already tell there's a level of stigma against us first years
Some girl was chatting me up in the smoking area and she asked if I was a fresher. She turned out to be a second year and started to like distance herself away from me

For freshers it's normally the first time living away from home, first time they can literally do whst they want. A new start gives everyone a chance to reinvent themselves and , so you see a fair bit of peacocking and hitting it a bit too hard. Freshers are almost children (please don't be offended by this) and you grow up quickly between 18-22
By next year you'll be a more rounded person (and probably rounder), more sure of who you are and more like an adult. You'll probably laugh at how you was as a fresher

If we didn't grow up then I'd be amazed, my sister changed a ton over her first few years of uni (in a good way). Hard to appreciate how long everything household-ey takes until you do it.
