I don't like putting diesel in my car,I normally leave it to hubby and I go in to pay but can he ever get dead on the £...NO, it's always a penny or two over and he knows I don't like that! x

My old car had a lever to release the cap. This one, you have to use the key to unlock..sounds easy! First time I went to the garage and had to ask someone to help me [:I]

The one I've got now is dead easy - you undo the flap with the key and unscrew the cap. I can manage that one!

Apparently mine is as easy as that Skip..yet when I try it doesn't always open!

I managed to open it today and filled right up. Also worked out the CD player [:)]

First time in years I've picked a car I like, for me and apart from the fuel cap, I'm loving it [:D]

We just flip a lever in the car and it opens the fuel cap, but I still let hubby do it! He does normally manage to hit the round figure on the head, but not always!

We have an auxilliary output in the car so I plug the ipod in. The CD player is relatively easy - shove 6 cd's in the dashboard and away you go!

I wish I could plug my iPod in! I thought about having the stereo changed when my IPA is finished, but I don't think I can justify the cost. Dave's always fitted my stereos in the past, but as this would mean removing part of the dash with a saw I'd rather have it done professionally!

I put 6 cd's in..just haven't worked out how to release them [:I]

I rarely listen to music when driving, prefer to listen to talksport. Just need to work out CD system for my girles [:)]

I have to have music in the car - I think it goes back to my first car when I had to turn the stereo up more and more to drown out the rattles!

I had a CD changer in the boot of my last car - I think it still had the same 6 CDs in it when I got rid of it!

My new car has got speakers in the boot that drop down...my eldest daughter has said I have "a boom box" [:I]

Mind you,my taste in music is so bad sticking to radio is a good move [:D]

I very rarely have music on in the car, where music is concerned I admit to being totally ignorant. i don't have a clue x

I don't care what anyone thinks of my taste in music! If hubby is in the car then we have to have Smooth radio on. On my own, it's the ipod. I wish I could afford DAB for the car as I could listen to Planet Rock which is what I listen to all the time at work.

Dave's not keen on my taste in music, but even my mum was tapping her fingers to Bruce Springsteen yesterday!

Dave hates my taste in music! Doesn't stop me from listening to it though!

Luckily both hubby and I love listening to talksport and we'd rather have the radio on than music/tv any day!

Music wise it has to be Stone Roses, Paul Weller or Blondie [:I] oh and a touch of Simon & Garfunkel.

You and your hubby would get on well with my hubby Julie, he's a talk sport fan and I know he likes Paul Weller. Daughters friend's Mum is a blondie lookalike!
