The Police attended, but didnt pursue it as a dangerous driving act, the road conditions at the scene were obviously very poor, i hadnt had a drink, and my lack of experience prompted them to simply put it down to an unfortunate accident... Im just so lucky that i didnt have any passengers and no other cars were involved.

The BMW set me back £6k, obviously many other cars i could have picked for that kind of money, but, as Zirax has touched upon, this will be ideal for towing a little track car, with enough space in the back for spares and tools.

As for the devil-fuel, i did 16,600 miles last year in the CTR, I average ~27mpg... this barge is so far returning almost double that.

In that case, when do we get to see the video?

£6k seems a good price, what sort of mileage/spec?

Ouch! Are you Captain Scarlet? How did you walk out of that without a broken neck?

I don't understand how that could have happened though, what do you mean, lack of experience? What were you doing, cars don't just gambole through the air the minute it starts raining.

Its got 82,000 on the clock, but, its the ES model... Which is why it was cheap. Today ive had the whole rear end tinted and a Parrot MKi9200 fitted, so, ive now got bluetooth handfree and decent iPod control.

Im only short, but fairly stocky (fat) so, my head was well away from the roof when it flattened, and my flab cushioned me very well.
