I'm not the luckiest guy but I thought I'd slip behind Fate's back and do something I really wanted for a change.

I buy myself a 3.2 knowing itll be expensive but fun.

First some stupid bitch drives into me costing me a fortune and (technically) writing my (once) much loved 318is which was in really good nick before.

My job gets a load harder all of a sudden.

I'm skint.

Today the bastard alarm goes wrong leaving me no transport, no money and ABSOLUTELY no love for that peice of shit anymore.

I'm either going to have to torch the damn thing or buy a micra with some imaginary money.

DAMN IT!

I've had my car about a year. Had to replace the engine, gearbox, propshaft, diff, etc., etc., etc...

And it just keeps going. I wouldn't really classify my car as reliable. Problem is it's my only mode of transport. Don't quite like getting into the car each morning praying that she'll start, before I turn the key.

Nevertheless, I still love the car and I'm not planning on getting rid of her soon. (Even though I feel like reaching for the sledge hammer every so often - too often actually).

As all the above mate. No one has a perfect life. I have friends who are proper minted but envy the simple life that most of us live, and i have friends who are also as poor as me and we all envy the fast life my rich friends live. I guess my point is no one has a perfect live and things will work themselv's out you'll see, so chin up dude. If you live near London, come round and i'll take you for a blast in the bootywagon winkeye
