Oh.. and I forgot to mention...
I called my mechanic and friend of the family today about the whole Broken car/New car thing... and he said I could probably get a MINI!!!!!!! Now..... I'd avoided even looking at minis cos I didn't want to get my hopes up. But he says they're pretty good, he's had no problems with any, and they are about the same size as a Corsa! So.... now I'm looking at minis... hehe... I can get a 2002/3 model in the top end of the ballpark I have to spend... HOWEVER they do all seem to have a stupid amount of miles on them. So I don't know yet. I'm not going to be silly about it anyway, I've done my time with wasting money on cars (especially mini's!). To the left is my gorgeous lovely beautiful mini that I had when i was 18... I spent stupid amounts on it to keep it on the road, and just after I spent another huge wad, it was nicked and trashed... boooooo... long live the mini.
