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

If I had the space for another car I would do the same, but aint got the space for two cars :(

Did you get a Kia?
12.808 1/4 mile on stock internals, turbo and ecu.

Now gone to the dark side!

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 :)
Previously a UK WRC ST205 & a CS (UK !*%)
Now.... a 1970 Triumph 13/60 convertible, a Hyindai Amica and a Honda CR-Z Hybrid :)
