Well, my girlfriend has gone to Dubbo in a photographic expedition, she left this morning. Being the great boyfriend I am, I gave her my Fez to use so that she didn't need to drive her deathtrap all the way out west.
How sore do you think my arms are now, it feels like I'm turning a ships wheel. And don't get me started on the stereo, actually, only the right front & rear left speakers work, and as she doesn't have the radio code anymore ya need to switch the radio off every 2 minutes as it ceases to work. I'm gonna install a head unit & some speakers in it for her, nothing flash, just so she can listen to CDs & stuff. Oh, & not have to turn it on & off every two minutes. Women & tyre pressure, they'll never learn. I got to the servo this morning & found the follow: Front Left: 21 Psi Front Right: 29 Psi Rear Left: 14 Psi Rear Right: 19 Psi Time for her to do a crash course in car maintenence me thinks... |

By the sound of her car, she might not want to give yours back.

You're complaining about a WA Festi with no power steering? I had fun in my old XE even with the 185s we had on the front end. Then I had to figure out a way to drive it with one hand after breaking a bone in my right hand. Oh memories!

I'm sure you wouldn't want to have an accident in her car.
