Ah, yes, but you don't drive it like you stole it. Unless that big beard driving a berlingo that went flying down the road, screaming like a banshee, sending innocent pedestrians fleeing for their life was YOU!!!???!!!

They're alright if you don't do too many miles. Lot of those engines are ally, and don't take too well to much over 70/80,000 miles. I had my citroen for about 6 days (if that) before I cooked the engine. Water was coming out faster than the hosepipe could put it in!

Maybe it's just me though? I've killed a few in my time

Err, that last bit came out wrong! I've killed a few CARS in my time. Not random hookers I picked up. Honest.

yeah, but your half my age, I bet you drive like "sh't off a shovel", I no longer have to drive like I've got something to prove!

Aye, motorways I'm about average, 90ish most of the way. Nothing excessive or dangerous. With little'un though and the bloke who drive Miss Daisy overtakes me.

Anyway, you can't drive fast with 3 and 3/4 wheels and only 3 gears

see there you go...90 ish....funny I though the MAXIMUM speed LIMIT was 70MPH on British Roads? like I said "sh@t off a shovel" I mostly travel at 60-70 and on the back roads i'm down to 50, also the car is serviced once a year, my annual mileage is 12,500.

Is that supposed to be a limit?? I thought it was just a suggestion!

I'm actually in the market for a campervan type thing, something I can sleep in during the week. Hotel Mondeo is okay, but the en-suite facilities leave a lot to be desired.

Good link that, lots of ideas to contemplate (and steal eventually) Just need to find the base vehicle now.
