...and i liked it

Was lent this whilst the corsa was off the road -




106k, 2002, Pug 406 HDI, 2.0 Diesel, electric windows, electric mirrors, A/C, auto wipers, auto lights better than i expected a 406 spec to be!

Its not my car, which meant i got to use this -


and do this -


Was really nice having a car i didnt really worry about. A car i could park anywhere in the car park - finding the nearest gap to the door as opposed to the 'safest'.
Plus it being a diesel it got silly mpg, even at 95 monkeys per hour!

Really enjoyed my growing up experience of having a sensible car i dont worry about.
So gave it a wash after its trip round sheff and birmingham (in 6-8 inches of snow )

I'm going to be growing up permanently soon and getting probably a Passat diesel estate, I'm not looking forward to the prospect if I'm honest. I'm that used to a stripped out Corsa, everything else just seems so boring, even the MR2 I'm using atm (apart from in this snow, the MR2's quite entertaining atm ) I've never driven anything like a normal diesel estate tho but I'm not expecting much excitement

I drive an Astra Diesel daily. Makes me feel like a respectable member of society.

Having a car you dont care about is quite possibly one of the best driving experiences out there to be honest.

£100 cars FTW.

I drove a much better car than mine today for nearly 600 miles, I want one now. Small cars don't do it for me anymore
