This mainly applies to commercial lads really, but if your not and you have a car anyway, what is it?
If you just got a van then don't worry lol

Haha! I had this before the Alfa, its my girlfriends car for getting back and forth to work, I've just put myself back on the insurance for it! Spent all day driving it today and I've never felt so "Zeb-like" in all my life!!

I drive a Volvo S40, something I never dreamt I'd do in a million years coming from mainly a biking background but I'm quite enjoying it's build quality, reliability and although the performance isn't break-neck it ain't half bad.

I've just had it converted to take Autogas (lpg) huge savings considering the mileage I do.

I just noticed the guy who did the conversion has put a clip up on youtube:

Have you read and adhered to the Volvo drivers code of practice?

*A Panama hat must be left on the parcel shelf at all times.
*Driving gloves must be worn whenever the vehicle is in motion, regardless of weather.
*When travelling on a motorway, the inside lane must never be used even when free. The middle lane is used for most situations unless travelling at 70mph. At this speed you MUST stay in the outside lane even if other motorists wish to overtake you at a higher speed.
*Never use mirrors when executing an overtake on a dual carriageway or motorway.
*Always assume you are the only car using the road you are travelling on.
*never maintain a constant speed when travelling long distances, speed up and slow down at regular intervals to ensure you overtake, and then be overtaken by the same car at regular intervals.


I'm sure there's more

blimey, now that is a lot of cars! I like the sky line. Especially the one they do now. 70k and it rips the pants of most super cars


congrats on the new job steve. I hope it all works out well for you. feel sorry for your transit. sat on the drive alone

The Anglia with a race lump must of been fun. I can't see a land rover on there though! I had an r32gtr skyline running a proven 400hp, great car but a right wallet muncher.
My dad had two j4,s, what heaps!

I used to take it on track days, I uprated the brakes. It had a really aggressive lsd, aftermarket suspension and road legal cut slick tyres. Yes it was the best car I have ever owned. Not a lot came past me. So much fun overtaking m3,s and Porsches.

I drive a transit to work and also to asda....

Sadly my work vehicle is also my private vehicle.

I have a mondeo on the drive which needs a clutch and mass flywheel.
