    I got to €80 and for every euro afterwards i was mentally saying to myself that i had discovered a black hole inside my fuel tank :p
    y scooby is a thirty bastard too, but I just say to myself:

    Well, I don't smoke, drink, take drugs, go out every weekend etc, driving gives me that smile in my life and it costs only 10-20eu extra on petrol per week compared to bangornomics ford. Well worth it!

    I bet the Skyline was a thirsty Bish.

    When i got to the 2.6 tax band i considered a R33 GT-R for all of 10 seconds until i realized that my inner child needed to GTFO

    I was putting 50eu per week and doing only about 100-150km of short ****y trips. It was fantastic on long trips. I did cork - Belfast in one go and still had lots of petrol left, but when it come to work runs it was a bitch.
    Scoobie is a lightweight compared to skyline, though I still miss that bastard :(. Sometimes I start thinking that selling it was the biggest mistake I have ever done. :(

    Well it would be nice to think someone was out there enjoying it, but it was broken so :(

    back from my first week of non adjascent college living, pretty sweet so far! glanza returned super epic mpg's on the long runs too, usually get a fairly religious 300kms to half a tank, got 380 this time :)

    Going to get repaired monday. had my pressed tin plates held on with 3m double sided tape, hope they dont butcher them taking them off, they bend very easily.

    Of course, as always I either do it properly or take the piss :pac:

    As for taking the piss, here's an example...
