Already sold - believe me, it's crap and I feel guilty about taking money from the guy who bought it.

You're just not using enough bungies.

The only reason I'm considering getting a car license is because my pa says I can use the works van to go to trackdays

They're just a steel cage tool to put stuff into, and cost a fortune to feed a week on petrol. To get you from a to b in the cold winter they're fine, but summertime they just clog up the roads. Half the drivers don't know how to drive them properly anyway..

I need a weee cheap car to transport a mountain load of gear and tools for work purposes.Never spent more than £2K on a car and I don't see why I should now.

Big car = big depreciation and costs. The markets are full of them and are going for wallys now cos they're going to get clobbered with £300 - £400 tax discs soon. A mate of mine has an '04 Mitsubishi Shogun 4x4 diesel. He just paid £400 for a years road tax disc for it last wek. Stuff that....

I remember on a first date I picked a girl and and took her to this little country pub. Blokes next to our table were telling jokes and did the 'difference between a Capri and hedgehod - hedgehog has the *****s on the outside' gag. She smirked.

I've got a 2003 Honda CR-V, one of those bad boy 4x4 although they aren't bad, not that big and gives better fuel consuption than the Focus we traded it in for. It was great for our France/Germany/Austria/Liechtenstein family adventure.

I also have a rocket of a car, a 98 KA (or as my nephews would call it the Gay A). It's rubbish but its OK.

I used to be so in to cars, knew all the specs and details and just loved driving right up to when I was 35 and discovered bikes are faster and cheaper.
