After 12 years of having a licence, I finally own my own car \o/ (in a recession... lol, welcome to skintlessness... I know I know!). ;)

Say hello to Rolo :) Toyota Corolla CD R reg Silver

This is his better side.

Car used to be owned by mum's Chinese friends who now use their bus passes more than their car, so we inherited it for a small sum ;) they were the only owners before moi.

Slight dent to the front wing (?!) and some interesting paintwork coverups, but is a good little runner :)

Heheheee, love you really. You were a wonderful, safe driver. At least you didn't try and spin the hire car in front of a lorry whilst going up a hill in the Communist Fascist Dictatorship of Northern Turkish Cyprus like SOMEONE did :rolleyes:

Not any more it isn't. They're filming down in Devon and Cornwall I think now.

You'd have to be a right **** to do that! Oh wait, he is!

The phrase that always makes me smile when I see a Toyota is one I heard when I was in Saudi. I told one of the locals that I was surprised that I hadn't seen many Land Rovers, and that when we were out in the desert everyone seemed to be using Landcruisers.
His reply?
"We use Toyotas here because if you break down, you die".

'nuff said IMHO.

Top Gear agreed with the Saudis too. They tried their best to kill a Toyota pick-up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrk6vsb77xk) and failed.

Obviously, a crusher would have done for it, but that would have been silly. :)
