    I drive a micra too, it's blue! About as much as I know about cars or car to know.
    Whata painful car to drive when getting used to it, it's the only car I cut out in(I'm learning to drive)

    Yeah, the micra requires a lot of rev to take the bite. I've never driven anything else other than my parents car. They drive a 08 Skoda which for me seemed super sensitive so the car made a HUGE roar and jumped forward when I attempted to start off haha my dad was freaking out.

    I'm in the micra, it's even one of the older version ones haha. Stinger for my friends who are squashed in the back :p Nah we've limited people to one gym bag sized bag and a rucksack to keep the luggage load down. I obviously can't go as fast as bigger cars but feck it sure, we'll still have the craic. It's only about €35 to fill my car and that should sort me for Dublin -> Donegal no probs. It's only a one litre engine :P

    Ah yeah but the lower litre engine cars max out at lower revs too , so at 100km/h you're probably hittin 3,500 - 4,000 revs = more petrol used. My car would cruise at that speed, maybe 3,000 max. Could easily get to Donegal with 15 litres , less than €20 petrol.

    The Skoda u drove had a completely different gearing system and more sensitive accel because it's newer, but driving at higher speeds it would definitely be more comfortable. AAAAaaaaaaanyway this is a vegetarian forum lol, what did everyone have for dinner tonight :pac:

    Ye, for my driving instructors car and my parents diesel car it required verry little gas for the bite but the micra requires more. SO I either give to little or wayyyyy too much.

    As for dinner I fried an onion that was about twice the size of a tennis ball, veggie mince and veggie stir fry strip things and ate them all with quinoa. yum yum.

    Can you be ready by Tuesday? :P

    And I totally agree on the onion thing, It would take about a month to get through even a small onion. I like it very very very tiny amounts!

    I thought it was crap stuff myself until I figured out it can have so many different textures and tastes like whatever you want!
    There is a nut/tofu fake meat thing that I love to fry up and I love a certain tofu mousse.

    I generally don't like it. It has this nasty eggy texture and I've always hated the texture of eggs. I crumble and fry it and use it in chilli and spaghetti bolganese (sp?). I've just been using it as a kinda mince replacement.
