Nope.
In this instance Reality kicks in. OP has already stated that he doesn't have space for 2 washing machines.
I'm sure your suggestion has been noted, however (it's been stated about 20 times in this thread alone). Leave it there. Move on.

See yesterdays Sunday Times. Toyota Avensis and Renault are tops. And you don't have to wear and anorak in them either.
He does. He is keeping the old one.
It hasn't.
Are you buying another washing machine?

Down time might be important for all these families with young children who seem to run the machine continuously. I don't know why, my mother hand washed all the clothes, and terry nappies, and held down a full time teaching job and did marking in the evening. Not that I'm suggesting drudgery is next to saintliness.
But don't most normal people have a week's supply of spare clothes anyway? Or a neighbour who would run a load through her/his machine? Or take a bagful to work and run it through with the office tea-towels.

And what have you modified yours to do? Bounce up and down on its little feet to the tune of Bonny Lass o' Fyvie on a 60deg Warm Whites cycle?

Yes I'll have a look at the motoring section by about Friday I have to make the times stretch all week.
Mind you, I got that info off a man whose spent 40 years scraping wrecks off the road, so what does he know that the times doesn't.
And if you read that bullshit they wrote the other day about digital radio you'll believe anything:-((..
Image and reality don't always go hand in hand. BMW is a classic case.
The lastest tests.
What did they say?

European something. All in the ST.
Try this.
There speaks one who's never owned one. Once you have you tend to be hooked.
The breakdown organisations data says differently.
I've had three 5 Series in the past 10 or so years - an E28, 34 and now an E39. Only one ever broke down, and that was a faulty alternator at about
90,000 miles on the E34. And it only broke down because I kept going until the battery died as I was on my way to work.My brother still has the E28, and is determined to run it past 250,000 miles.
Sure they all have niggles that can cause problems, but what car hasn't?
I won't disagree. I ran a 316 and a 318i for a total of 14 years. The latter was the most enjoyable car I've owned, but by far the least reliable, and it was serviced on the dot. Weakest point was the hydraulic clutch. Either cylinder would let go with little or no warning. Slave cylinder dumped fluid outside, master dumped it all over the drivers footwell. Average life of a pair was 3-4 years (and they had to be changed as a pair). The radiator gave out with a bang, likewise coolant hoses, alternator mounts, two fuel relays, battery earth mounting point (all around the
100-120K mark). And the clutch was replaced. A Cavalier I owned at the same time let me down once in 7 years when the camshaft snapped. Ran that to nearly 150K miles, on its original clutch.I couldn't really recommend a 3-series, although to be fair they are now about 3 models further on.
