I like the look of those, my criticism of Kia is purely the Forte, it was not well screwed together although the ride was rough the seats were comfy enough.

That was a very good price for the Passat.

No, a taxi would be about 150 quid each way, plus a tip on top. Factor in 6 hours of cabbie conversation, and then also having the whizzy car at my disposal for 12 days, and I reckon it's a bargain!

You shouldn't really be 2 foot driving on public roads. It might be fun, but it's a bit dodgy. I've never felt the need to do it unless I'm in a go-kart. For understeer, I usually compensate in the traditional way of steering more (people talk about understeer as if it's a bad thing. For normal driving it isn't, it's actually the safest setup.)

I sat waiting for the guy opposite to pull into a spot first so I could take the parking spot next to him, he used all of his bay and about 3 inches of mine. So befeore he jumped out I pulled in leaving just 3 inches between our trucks, jumped out and walked off, he looked pretty mad When I came back he had parked else where and had not touched my truck
