w00t!

they are in for such a huge disappointment when they, full of first owner pride, get their shiny gleamy "new" 1.0 up to the traffic lights and decide to cane it away faster than they ever did in the VRS

(whereas i was quite proud that the 1043 was nippier than the instructors 1250 zetec

)

I guess if you'd bought a trabant having passed your test you'd have been

- impressed by the build quality

- bowled over by the perfomance

- amazed by the comaprative lack of smoke (trabi's are two stoke BTW)

and just slightly dissappointed with the mpg

A real step up from the Metrod

lol getting a lift back from the pub with mates just now involved a discussion along similar lines - their first shared car (bro / sis twins) was a metro that died of knackered rings ---- on all 4 cylinders.... at once.... the power just "went" over a couple of weeks.

horrible unsafe crap boxes anyway - oddly nice to ride in as a passenger though. still the driving position is horrid (test seating at carcraft

), take a corsa over that!

and i swear the mg metro belonging to the slightly wierd* kid round the corner that i knew from school hasn't moved in a full year... probably wont start.

* yes, yes i know....

i dont understand what you mean sometimes geezer ---- i mean 4 kronenbourgs and a double JD has made me a bit more spelling blind that ...... dao.. godamnit, "THAN" usual but i'm sure you could understnad what i was aiming at there

i had a grandparent pop off while i was doing my first set of 3rd year uni exams (so family kept a lid on it til i finished them.... not sure what affected me most... especially as he'd been acutely ill for a couple of years and i could have stomached it) ... they've just had one very, very suddenly keel over too... some shared sympathies each way there. dead aint funny i'm afraid but a little alcohol and some good company can make everything so very much better.

It's all gonna get really bad here..... when my grandad died my parents neglected to tell me

I feel your pain - it ain't funny - but your typos are

Like I said before (didn't I?) you are No'1 one on my list of guys I just have to get pissed with - Billing seems like a damn good plan

Parents - who needs em!!!!!!!!
