Is it a soft top? And what make and model is it?

Sadly these factors often have more effect than the colour or driver but you paint a nice picture :A

No , n...I don;t want a convertible : i did wonder if that made sense as I typed it

smart roadster coupe.......the one with the humpy back window, not the one with a pokey bum........not sure what difference in model name is.

edit: I went to see a Honda Insight, but I think its too big or what I want. I just want a little nipabout. Otherwise might look at some small hatchbacks with a longish wheel base???....I feel more secure with long wheel base to height ratio.

I'm highly likely to keep whatever I buy till its death anyway...not a big replacer of things.

it used to be great.

is a yellow car crass or stylishly ironic? its one I might try..but feels very conspicuous.

Yellow cars devalue quicker, & are notoriously hard to sell 2nd hand. A guy near me had a bright yellow car, & I only ever saw him in a matching pair of yellow trainers!

Will it not clash with your shoes?

My driving shoes are silver: go with anything. I'd have to wear black sunglasses though...tortoiseshell would clash . Not sure I'm up to bright yellow sunnies.



Might clash with my hair....is this a style issue I have been over looking? I'm not sure what car would go with my hair....eta: apart from NOT a convertible..

I always had you down as a brunette...of the lighter variety (but I was also wrong with fc123)

I have been told by a few friends recently that honda's are ultra reliable, don't break down etc. heard very positive feedback.

I did personal research a few years ago, as I needed to change my car. I bought absolutely nothing like what I wanted to buy (or thought I wanted to buy initially).

OH will be pleased

Yes i think i know the car you mean. Yellow is ok if you park in a bed of daffodil's, but other than that we will all see you coming

I still like the debate board, but I feel it used to be better than it is now unfortunately. There is still a lot of interesting stuff posted, you just have to wade through the rubbish.

On the cakes issue, I have promised to make someone flapjacks this weekend (it is their favourite). However, as well as this, I'd like to make something a little more adventurous/challenging, in the cake/sweet/biscuit dept. Anyone got any suggestions or reccomendations?

The only caveat is there is around allergies. The only nut in the kitchen has to be me

Yes. & for some reason, I don't envisage you with extremely long hair. I do imagine it to be well cared for though...:)

I have no real idea why, but the type of image I have (style wise) is like the cheif exec of my second job. Not that I can explain why...:)

Marshmallows? So very much better home made!

Its good hair. I get lots of compliments on it. I'm not sure it looks particularly well cared for...its very, very curly. ''Extremely long''....how long is long? I can't sit on my hair, and because of the curl its probably hard to tell that its longer than elbow length if I straightened it... Colour? Mousey will do, but its not really, nether is it blonde, as some of my friends describe it, though i used to be. Its go very much darker in very recent years, naturally. Of course, nature has very little to do with the matter.....I think its sort of ...tortoisehell.

yeah, I think that's the real issue. But maybe that's a safety feature?

Its interesting they are meant to be cheaper....because that would swing it, but I think one of the two on ebay seems quite expensive comparatively....

There is a pink one on ebay.
