Car Roof

[Ashers]

I was on my way home today and heard a strange noise from my car roof. When I got out and checked the roof, I notice that the roof is now flexible and I can push it in and out.

Not sure what has happened here, but looks like the roof has lost it's strength.

Any ideas?

Did you leave it out overnight in the severe frost and then pour hot water over it in the morning to defrost it ? (some people actually do that ) If so the sudden expansion could have made it malleable.

[Ashers]

Think it has something to do with the roof lining / structure?

Is this the same old banger that the exhaust fell off when you hit that pothole the other month?

It is. Would not say it was a old banger though. Has only done 45,000 miles, although it is nine years old.

Just don't play any Rolf Harris on the car stereo, the roof might join in for wobbleboard accompaniment.

Pa obviously... everyone else in the country just scrapes an area about a foot square so they can see out by ducking close to the screen sometimes I scrape a small bit in each side window so I can see left/right at junctions....pa defrosts his roof

Pa lives in Scotland, it helps there to be able to see through the sunroof to work out how high the snow is piled up at the side of the road.

Why on earth would you buy a car with a sunroof in Scotland in the first place?

How did you know that the roof was not flexible before?

We don't need sun roofs in winter .. we have periscopes.

[mad dog]

Ashers....can't you use your FF winnings to buy a decent car? and mind out for potholes

Periscopes fine for winter, Murf was on about the summer!!!

So the mileometer doesnt work either
You didnt buy it on ebay from D. Dastardly did you

[Ashers]

Just seen the company that I purchased this car from on The sheriffs are coming.

Is it a convertible three wheeler now?

Actually sold the car last month and purchased a new car.

The car gradually feel apart piece by piece and I still managed to sell it on with a 12 month MOT.

[Tacalabala]

Lol, how desperate was the next guy?!

[Ashers]

Lol, how desperate was the next guy?!

12 Months MOT and Tax, Full Service History and only 60,000k miles.

Actually had a bidding war on Ebay for it and was happy to make £750.

[Tacalabala]

Seems a fair price actually, just hope they don't find this thread.

They have the receipts for the work and I told no lies.

[Tacalabala]

I know, just playing. I hope your new car is doing you well

[Ashers]

First time I have ever bought a new car and makes up for 15 years of driving old bangers.
