and yes it does have faux walnut trim...but I am 32...surely I'm entitled to drive a car with faux walnut trim by my time of life. It's even better now my mate has given me a tape to mini-jack convertor for iPod tune blasting fun.

Re: Ldma - Uk
The cars I've had over the years:
1982 Mazda GLC Hatchback 4 cylinder
1985 Olds Cutlass Supreme V6 (drove this one up to 150K miles, which is great for an American car)
2000 Ford Mustang 190 HP V6 Covertible...Tropical Green with Cream Colored Top
2002 Ford Focus Four Door 4 cylinder
(The last two were first ownership...drove 'em right off the lot with 20 less miles on each of 'em).
So in total I've had four cars in my life. Now I drive a motorcycle. Honda Wave 100.

Re: Ldma - Uk
it's all geographical and localised, and Tescos don't charge the same everywhere anyway...I paid 117.9 for diesel at BP the other day in Suffolk, but that's quite expensive compared to most I've seen.

Re: Ldma - Uk
Ok...1 week to the broadband switch on...can't wait...we do have mobile internet but I hate using it to type anything...nd I end up sndng lk 8bll...so sod that!
This week I are mostly in flatpack furniture hell, begging family first to take my mums tatty old furniture away, and starting the inevitable job hunt.
Car's fine, but definitely needs the clutch unsticking at some point....glad to see the place still running fine in my absence...back more regularly next week.
