the other day coming home from the gym i was following my dad home, and i was right on his bumper! lol. wen the road cleared, i dropd the box and started to get closer, and then, from nowhere, his back end just squatted and he took away! regardless of my accelerating, i may aswell have been...

my brand new, 04 clio didnt come with an alarm! if it was a 1.2 8v or 1.2 16v, then fair enough, but the 1.4 and 1.6 r the dynamique pluss and surely they shud have some form of an alarm!? also, i was annoyed to find out that my car didnt have a light in the glovebox. i dont understand the...
