Just wondered if anyone had as an amazing car or bike like me:
Model: Peugeot 206
Engine: 1.1
0-60: Yes it does it
0-100: Downhill with the wind behind.
Point of interest... I also call her Leah _________________

My Current ride is a 1973 Chevorlet Nova 2 dr hatch back. 350 cid ( 5.7 liter) V8 with a four speed automatic transmission and air ride suspension. It's in dire need of paint and interior work but it runs decent enough. _________________ Out of gas and 4 flat tires, Ain't this day starting off good!?! |

That's the best. Doesn't go 100 though. Doesn't go 60 either. Maybe 30 if I try hard: |

I don't own a car - but I am a serial car-hirer. I live 5 minutes from Manchester on the train, and since that's the only place I regularly go, it's fine. When I do need a car, I hire one, so do it about 40-50 days a year. That costs about £1000 per year. If it's business related it's tax-deductible (unlike ownership). Road tax, insurance, repairs and MOT are included in the price, and I suffer no depreciation in price. I don't know why everyone doesn't do it.
Last week I booked a group B car (Corsa etc.) and the renter had none in, so I got a free upgrade to a 1.8 Renault Megane convertible. That was cool. |

Yeah got a mountain bike, but since i gained 5 stone I haven't ridden it. Come to think of it, thats prob why I've gained 5 stone. The rusty old thing would probably give me hepititis B anyway. (Spell check on Hepititis) _________________

if you do have lessons, you'll become a master at roundabouts. |

Ok Steve, this is getting really weird. Same subjects at college, birthdays in same month, and I like Suzuki Swifts too. Not that I'll be getting one as a first car. In fact, with the possibility of my going to Uni, I probably won't be getting my own car for a few years. _________________
