    Snaggles, by sprint i just mean move as fast as you can, short distance. Like for a 20 second dash then walk for the same. If you can do 10k you can sprint.
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

    What do you all drive? If you do that is...
    I'll list them all if you like, but we are a 6 car family at the moment-oh and 2 motobikes and a quad..."Carbon footprint? What's that????"

    In other news, we had a letter from Inland revenue (or whatever they're called this week) nice little tax rebate of £795!!!! Result!
    DH in garage fiddling with Mini,DS and 2 mates roaring round garden on quad bike, DD making big mess in kitchen mixing tiffin....Me? Reading the Times,listening to Derby coverage and catching up on DFW!!

    You seem to know a bit about cars yourself! Do you live in a big house in the country? double garage, lots of land etc? I need to find somewhere that will insure a slightly bigger car for my age. Im so ambitious about doing it.
