LOL I'm on a 1.0 Micra now, plans to 2.0 though for a fun ghey looking pov. spec sleeper. Before that, '99 19dti Laguna. 18TD Escort 17TD mk3 astra 4dr... I love my ****ters :roll::D

[Lynsey]

Hmm, when my car was off the road I used my Cav SRi :p Not really one to be ashamed of. After I put that to rest in the garage for a couple of months I got to use Dougie's brown 2.0 16v Nova but it was slightly too hardcore for Wilmslow (LSD FTW) lol Erm, and his Cav GSi... 3.0 V6 :thumb up:

The worst one I've borrowed is my Mam's 106- the pedals are too close together and even with my size 5s, I think I managed to push all three pedals at once lol

well, he hasn't got a license. And he wasn't looking where he was going. Not a good combination. lol

[Lee]

LMFAO, you were so embarrassed about it you hid it behind a load of weeds in the pic lol

[Ash]

nope, I'd just broken down on the A303. I was an awesome car tho - It was dubbed 'the happy car' as when ever anyone got in it they'd start laughing! Can't think why tho.... lol

[Lee]

lmfao. My mate had a 900cc fiesta that had the same effect.

We all used to think the heater lever actually increased the tension on the rubber band lol
