I wonder if a 5.5Litre is enough, perhaps I should get one of the 8 litre Dodge Vipers!

I have always enjoyed driving but funnily enough not on motorways as I find them boring. With the introduction of SatNavs it makes driving more pleasurable as you can choose a distant destinatinion, choose the shortest route and be guided along single track leafy lanes and enjoy the countryside to its full especially in the Summer weather. If time is not a necessity I would reccommend it.

The driving is still as good as ever but it is my wallet that has taken the knocks. When I had my first car I couldn't get £2 of petrol in the tank. Saturday I half filled the tank at a cost of £40. I try not to look yoo long at the cost when I pay. Grown people crying is not a good look

I have stated this before, it is not the motorist that has the know how to produce a product for his / her car to run on it's the likes of BP / Shell Etc, we have no choice, but the petrolium comp's DO have the ability to produce cleaner NON ENVIROMENT HARM Products.

less demand on fuel = fewer oil rigs & less pollution.

If I want to take my family shopping to the nearest shoppinf centre, we have to catch two buses there and back, including walking this trip would take at best an hour, there are four of us and each bus costs £2 per person so a total cost of £32 and two hours travelling.

By car 20 minutes there and back, £2 parking fees, less than a litre of petrol. Until economics change it the car for me
