BONNET!! It's a BONNET!!

It is muddy at the moment, will be until summer I think. The engine bay is a bit scummy as well, all the salt being spread on the road.

Got to have a 40,000 mile service in a few days, trying to keep the miles down (car is 3 years old)

What were you expecting? It was a ford! You should of just left it because they make better artificial reefs than vehicles.

Yeah, my step uncle has the chevy house type car (tacobell or something) Drove it around Davis where my mum lives.

I found the roads really bumpy, I would break my back on my firm suspension... also I kept wanting to change gear, automatics are strange!! Had to tuck my left leg under the chair so I didn't slam my foot on the brake in search of a clutch.

I broke the speed limit too
