I've never been into cars. They get me from A to B and I can put my drums in them, that's it.
But it was sunny today and I'm going to pillage a Parlimentary Secretary all weekend starting Saturday, so I thought I'd treat myself.
I got rid of my hulking, J reg Vauxhall Cavalier I bought 2938rd hand two years ago. It was similar to this [URL]http://www.trustvehicles.com/photos/silvervauxhallcavalier_k.jpg[/URL] and bought this instead [URL]http://www.gearstick.co.uk/images/large/Peugeot_206_5door_03.jpg[/URL]
Pick it up tomorrow and take my old wagon in for part-exchange on it.
And now I'm going to buy one in Forza and paint it silly colours and smash into a Mexican kid on my friends list who only likes Minis

Aye, public transport for me starting from next week. I've needed a car all my working life (I work 15 miles from where I live, a hatred inducing 45 mins down the bottleneck that is the A1) and I'm really, really looking forward to getting rid of it.
Tax - 90 quid every six months. Gone.
Insurance - 50 quid a month. Gone.
Petrol - 120(!) a month. Gone.
Not to mention mot, and other "problems" that appear (last month it died on a motorway, the radio anti static that was earthed to the fuel pump caught fire and destroyed my electrics throughout the car)
It's going to be heaven. Still, I'll have to join the herd of grim faced commuters every morning....

Fact: Most petrol station fires and explosions are caused by static electricity arcing from you, down the pump handle. Think about that next time you fill 'er up. Huuur.
(yes I know an explosion at a petrol station is a rare thing, blah blha blahaljshlda)

Rare? I don't think I've ever heard of one.

Probably because there are so many precautions. I think it's like avrogas though - burns up exceedingly quickly, almost in a flash. There wasa programme on Bravo (think it's been on Five too), "World's Biggest Explosions". I wish I was kidding, but it certainly delivered what it promised.
EDIT: I remember someone I used to work with years ago running into the shop in a panic: "A car just caught fire down at Tescos petrol station, run for you liiiives".

That's the type of programme I used to love watching on a hungover Sunday. Best one I saw was one called "Mobs Out Of Control" that delivered in spades.
I still want to see "Fast Animals, Slow Children"

Bloody hell. I've seen one car go up (on the way home from work on the previously mentioned A1) and when they go up, they go up. An orange inferno about 30 feet tall.

If the mong was angried up, it'd be like the Hulk-Dog fight.

Nah, It's on Family guy. Unfortunately. "Fox is running one of those new reality specials at eight. Fast Animals, Slow Children". Jungle track in the background, with this tiger belting along, mouth open, ears plastered back. Flash cut to fat kid "Gee, it sure is warm" (I think, while since I've seen it). Flash cut back to the tiger belting along.
And me crying laughing.
