    Mine's a diesel VTR job and does about 500-600 miles on a tank (which seems good to me). No idea on road tax as we don't have that.

    They have good visibility, the seating position is a bit elevated which is nice and good internal size (given the overall size of the car).

    More so in our neighbours. You have to set your watch back 30 years when you cross the border.

    Got shunted in the rear the other day, felt like a massive hit but in reality it must have been about 3mph as the only sign of damage was some scratches which it turned out was dirt that rubbed off. The Fiesta's a strong beast compared to my beautiful 206 (RIP) developed a dent if I stared at it sternly enough.

    Almost certainly got the 3 points and £100 fine I've deserved for the past 11 years today.

    Portlethen (A90 Aberdeen). Didn't think the GATSO cams had been recalibrated to 50 for the roadworks, got flashed at 70-odd. That could end quite badly...

    When it comes to roadworks and there's no work being done at night (but the speed signs at 50 or whatever are still there) are you still obliged to stick to the restricted speed?

    On average speed yeah but I thought fixed ones @ 70 would always be at 70 regardless of fucking roadworks.

    You have to stick to the posted limit regardless.

    That requires competence. Clearly I've underestimated our camera maintainers.

    Changed in feb apparently. Cunts. That's 2 years after the roadworks started.

    Well, that was a blast.

    Some fast cars out there. Shared the novice session with a Z06, one of those beastly Camaro ZL1s (or whatever they're called,) a Camaro SS, a Lotus Exige, an M3, and an S5. Needless to say the little Fiat got smoked. Zero fucks given though.

    Alternator on the 7 series seems to have royally shat itself.

    Think I'll be getting shot of it soon, after getting a couple of gaskets and the lower oil pan replaced recently (hairline crack in it) it still leaks oil, albeit much, much slower than it did.

    Not quite sure how BMW can fuck up the design of an engine quite so badly, makes a better sieve.

    I would've taken my Neon if it didn't leak oil and didn't have bare tires.
