The dark bits on the rear seat are just fluff off the new carpets, some finishing off to do but now it's really getting there

That looks more comfy than my living room!
How long until you get to take it for a proper drive?
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

If someone was to turn up and say "ahh, there's my car, i'll pop a cheque in the post" would you pass them the keys? ;)

There goes a perfectly good plan :(

Never mind, it looks like I will have to go back to saving up the change from the back of the sofa until I can afford to buy one myself. £1.83 so far!
