Finally been driven to it
« on: June 03, 2008, 10:09:42 pm »
Getting a second car that is, fuel prices are getting rediculous and the faff as a daily commuter is getting silly.  So she now sits in the garage all week ready for weekend mayhem  ;D which is great because I dont have to keep her ready to roll so to speak so even more mad projects can commence  :D

I wish they'd stick the road tax cost onto petrol then the choice would be totally ours! Have yourself 7 cars if you like, on a fleet policy.
I must admit I've saved 60 notes in the last couple of weeks with daily KIA use. Lost the smile though :)
