I'm working out of my petrol habit have already sold two cars this year without managing to buy anything. Although, birthday is soon, and I always get myself something for xmas.
I'm missing the good old days of blasting across the continent is something exotic that would invariably pack up when I'm completely lost in the middle of no-where: what a wonderful way to explore the world. I'm finding modern exotica is way too reliable and sat nav means you know where you are.
Fancy a Subaru Forrester, and they're really quite cheap at the moment.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

Unless I get the juiciest of juiciest of contracts that keeps me working 46 weeks of the eyar, I wont be buying a car.
happy getting around on my motorcycle for the time being, although the girlfriend is not always impressed when its -3 degrees outside!Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I'm thinking of trading down from my Golf GTI to an old prestige barge, but the GTI has lost so much of its value this year I can't quite bear to sell it.Cats are evil.Comment

I quite like them, don't want a boy racer car, got no use for anything with 4 doors and would only use it occasionally.

It's not as if I am interested in a Vauxhall Tigra, or a Peugot 206 CC or anything like that.
Mini in british racing green, chocolate brown leather with piping, matching brown hood.
What's so girly about that?Comment

Since everyone wants or needs different things from their choice of vehicle, there is no right or wrong answer, ergo pointless discussion.Comment
