    Is that http://www.quadconversions.com/CARS_FOR_SALE/darrencar4copy.jpg ? I had to google it. Thats fucking ugly. I would cause an accident from laughing if I saw that. (Granted I don't have much room to speak when it comes to cars, but at least mine *looks* normal) I'd rather be seen in my old car :lol:

    It looks so funny though :p With the exception of the SUV/M3 etc, 99% of the cars on the road look very similar to (I'll just stick up the mans car for reference) http://automobiles.honda.com/models/specifications_descriptions.asp?ModelName=Accord+Sedan&Category=EX%20V-6%206MT I cant wait for my next trip to see what people actually drive now. Last time I was out of the country was like 5 years ago and from my memory, there wasn't much difference then, but there seems to be now.

    Sounds good. Not too bad insurance wise, either.

    What colour is it?

    Not that you can tell I'm a girl :p

    I don't think it does. It's just a small car. :confused: Quite well made motors too.

    What do you drive?

    I can understand where my name is coming from, when i was over there the smallest car i ever saw driven were 2 litre focuses, and apparently they were laughed at. But over here i dont think a 1 litre corsa is too bad for a first car, especially at the price i got it at.

    I've attached a pic of the actual one i've got, blurred the reg except for the last 3 letters which i love :p

    Cheers moonarcanum, and everyone else btw! Had to quit smoking yesterday to get it though, but at least it won't stink of smoke :p And i've told my mates not to smoke in it either. Eww. I'm in love with it, but can't drive it till tues/weds because they're MOTing it, and all that malarky ;(

    I didn't mean to laugh at it in a mean way, just to tell you. Yes, it looks exactly like my first car, the geo metro hatchback, which is laughed at. Its just different, thats all. And different is not bad ;)

    All the cars where I live seem to have the last three letters CUM. It amused me for a while. Then I grew up.
