    So,own up,what's the best "pretend" car you ever owned?I tried to convince a lady back in college I was the owner of a lovely Sierra Cosworth but she wasn't having any of it.I was pretty drunk at the time though. :)

    Hows about ye?
    Any of ye ashamed of your micra or feeling inadequate about the size of your manhood perhaps?

    One night in a pub, I was chatting up this girl.
    She told me she was on her menstrual cycle - I told her that was OK, I would follow here back to her place on my Honda 50. :D

    I had a red escort xr3 years ago lovely car I pulled up at lights on the Dublin rd in limerick and a mini pulled up beside me reving and making all the signs that he wanted to take me on so I gave him the thumbs up the lights turned green and the little sh1t was half a mile down the road before I blinked:) discovered later he had a rally engine in it and he knew how to drive it
