Well that's why you now look like you do and my naturopath is trying to ban me from eating chocolate

Luckily I've never been that into chocolate.

What continues to amaze me is my lack of interest in booze........

Buy a second hand one then, far greener than making a new one and get it on gas.

Yeah and it won't look so bad if it melts in there, melted choc on the passenger seat looks a bit like you've had an accident!

- Why no car brokers? I'd heard they can save you money (and certainly hassle).
well...ultimately i would just feel that a car broker is only in the game to try and make some money on you...its not much hassle to really buy a car off your own back...sure it would be lovely to have a car here waiting for you put you will probably pay a premium for that..only my opinion of course, maybe others on here have used a broker and found them the best way forward.
