    And when I said street car - what I actually meant was street legal car.

    Pretty sure rally cars can go on the street, you usually see them racing about muddy places more suited to a 4x4.

    rally cars are 4x4 these days ;) they used to be rear wheel drive or front wheel drive, but now they're all 4x4 or all wheel drive.

    Back on topic,

    I would certainly recommend the C1. We got the wife one July 2006.She originally was looking at the Ka or the Smart, both only two door(I know people reckon the Ka is three but the hatch is just as pathetic as on the C1/107/Aygo).

    I am used to driving Mondeo/Vectra size cars and I really enjoy driving the C1. It has a cheeky look as opposed to the 107/Aygo, is cheaper to buy and the servicing costs aren't much more than the others. I don't reckon the split rear seat etc will make much difference to your daughter, as my youngest daughter is insured for it as well(she is 21) and she loves driving it.

    Great mpg, easy to park,nippy and the space inside is amazing. The OH is going to get another next July

    anyway,good luck choosing.

    Hubby never followed Millwall.

    One of the nicest guys I ever met used to be quite a top member of the bushwackers (it was bushwackers wasn't it?). Funny that, he was such a sweetie, you would never think it.

    Millwall are bloody stupid anyway, because they go everywhere & smash peoples areas up, when others went to millwall they wanted to smash Millwalls local area up, but Millwall are so thick they do it themselves.
    Aw no, you made me laugh so much I wish had Tena ladies!!

    Anyway he was doing 70 in the slow lane (the M25 was quite) & we were overtaken by a









    Perodua Kelisa :eek:
    Can you believe that?:eek:

    They say when they got the new stadium it had more loos that any other football ground per seat ratio.

    They say the fans were thrilled at such luxuries.

    While they stood pi55ing up against the walls in the stadium they chatted about how nice the new ground was:rolleyes: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    It's not ;)

    They are superb though. A veyron is street legal and is 3 times the horsepower ;) it's 30 times more expensive though.
