I don't care what Jo Bloggs thinks about the car I drive - I know my John Thomas is big enough to fill a pram (twice) and have never felt the need to throw my money at a performance car dealer........... (PS - I don't fold my PJ's nor do I spot trains)Opinions are like ar5eholes, everyone has one.

I notced I started thinking about buying a really small car, like Fiat 500. I wonder if it's rational thinking or just an inverse form of vanity.

Don't like the Ka, it's not very well proportioned. It looks like a dog sitting with it's bum in the air.You lot still here?!

But at the same time it would be easy to pigeon hole yourself as you are similar to my wife in that you want something "slightly different", which is why she bought a SEAT and is why you bought a SEAT . VAG knows this too.

Well, I sort of bought my first one purely by chance rather than the "something different" reason. I was actually looking at MGs (but let's not go there) and they had three Ibizas in the showroom, so I did the deal then, mainly because I was desperate to get rid of the Clio.
So what did Mrs Mark go for?You lot still here?!
Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
