Cars

--FOUR PIES-- · 27th October 2004, 07:52 PM

i just realised today that its almost 10 years now since i passed my test! i feel so old and oh how things have changed since then!

so, who can drive and who cant? who's learing and who cannae be bothered learning?

anybody got a cool car? I know the Spaceman Lance guys Ska-ified their Nissan Micra which looks like something outta 'pimp my ride', anybody done anything similar?

I don't really have anything to add, but I just want to say that I find the whole idea of cars to be extremely funny. Moving pods...on wheels...

Busses - communal pods...on wheels...

And everybody's sitting in the exact same position.

HA.

Seeing as there is the fatal error in me driving - the fact that I'm not old enough - I don't. I want to be able to drive whenever I can though, because driving is most useful, although I don't want to end up using it even to go to places where I could easily walk... That's just laziness and I'm trying not to end up lazy!

I would have been able to start the lessons three months ago.
last week... I finally got the photo, needed for the form, to be sent away to get a provisional license, to start lessons.

piece of piss.

Can't drive, won't drive. I've never been the least bit interested in cars. I'll stick to my push-bike.

As Pete Shelly says:
They're nice and precise, each one begins and ends
They may win you admirers, but they'll never earn you friends
Fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, I hate fast cars
They're so depressing going around and around
Ooh, they make me dizzy, oh fast cars they run me down
Fast cars, fast cars,
Fast cars, I hate fast cars
Sooner or later, you're gonna listen to Ralph Nader
I don't wanna cause a fuss, but fast cars are so dangerous
Fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, I hate fast cars, fast cars

Ritchie.

To whoever sent me the rep asking if they could come, sure you can! The more the merrier!

I can drive!

I used to have a punto, but it was being a bugger and costing too much all the time in repairs and servicing.

So now I have a corsa.

Oh dear - that sounds a bit familiar. Most times I go to the garage I hear "Oh yeah, that's a known Punto problem".

When it finally dies a death, I'm going to scream and scream till I'm sick if I don't get a Capri.

haha! Have you ever had the one about the rear suspension yet?

A capri, sprayed in the style of the starksy and hutch car would be great I think!
