i drive manchester 4 times a month. and to buckingham 4 times a week...
plus general driving, its hardly anything to be loud about, im complaining about it...
drive alot for work etc, and just got a new job doin my fair share of repping as one of the reps no longer works for us and his area wernt that big so now im doing it to save some money, but then i can claim expensis... :D still gunna be closeer to 1k on fuel a month!!!!
just done a lil tally up on my 197, to find that last month alone i spent £600 on fuel...
£200 on tax
£200 on service
£248 on two tires
and paid my insurance of £400 for the year...
£1648 in one month on my car, :( mental
but then i guess next month will just be the 600...
i have to commute in...
depends really if you get a grey bumper s**t, but then thats all iv seen it with...
i guess witht he gloss black bumper, and black speedlines would look good, just think the 200 looks a bit lost, dosnt look as mean...
jase's 197 is like the perfect car. 200 diffuser on the 197 looks good.

my pay works on how much i make each month, so some months can be really good and others awful so i have to save just in case...
but last year was good alround so i could get the 197 etc...
but it could go the other way very fast...

and i let it go to my head, worked and saved up for one, and thought to myself like a twit i have a prtty awsome car, wasnt awsome for too long. i ruined the thing. drove it top speed everywhere. only lasted a year...
the bills were a fortune on it. so i got a 197 and i have never...
i go with this theory, if you drive a s**t car, you get pulled and get idiots over taking and forcing you into a ditch. there are benifits to gettin something nice at a young age, as long as you appreciate it.
