# *claps like a big fat seal*
The car I am possibly getting is a diesel.

# Corsa :-)
I've got to get my license yet. But it's a friend's mum's car- she's being given it and she's already got one.

# It's in perfect nick.
Or are you ouching that I don't drive yet? I used to ride, but I've never had the need to drive. The only reason I'm going to be doing now is that it means I can work further from home which is probably going to be forced upon me in the next few years if I stay in operations management.

# go for it - in the long run, it's still cheaper than petrol
I used to drive a petrol primera, 4 years ago - £40-50 a week back then to get a shade over 300 miles. I now drive a diesel (mainly) and get double the distance out of a full tank, and it costs me £60 to fill up

# See, this is the thing.
At most in a week I'll be going about 150 miles. But my dad's always sworn by diesel.

but occasionally he speaks the truth. Cars, music and politics, you're fine. ANYTHING ELSE, start running.

Pretty much a given from March to October, my dear.

# mine dear papa
is trying to get me to trade my nearly-dead golf (petrol, does about 25 MPG these days as it's dying) for a diesel, which is a fine idea.

Problem is he wants me to get a diesel polo estate. Which IMO is a less fine idea.

# Tanning myself on your warmth, and beating the attractive barmaid at pool.
I also got some Sertraline and a new CD :) I might not go out tonight in favour of sleeping. I've gone all laaaaazy :)
