but its not allowed

so miss driving it right now, took it for a spin down an old farm track last night & i really did forget how responsive and nippy it truly is! just makes me sad knowing i cant afford to run it at all while at uni and it just sucks

here's hoping for a lottery win or something to get enough money to resurect the shed!

My car's sat at home while I'm at Uni too. Makes me sad when I go home as the fat bitch doesn't even have MOT or tax anymore. I'm determined to have it here next year, but it just wasn't possible while I live in an M1 postcode.

By really struggling. My mate at uni is having a small budget a week which is literally just about enough to live on, but unfortunately his clio got written off last week when a car drove into the back of him at a junction.
but, accidents happen I suppose

why dont you take your cars with you to uni?

surely your only looking at 100 a year for T&T + fuel which shouldnt be too bad

also parking is obviously an issue depending where you go

i sold mine for uni this time last year, cos it was just taking up space in the garage. I couldn't possibly run a car and live in sheffield, without using all my overdraft and probably loaning money off my parents. But to be honest i don't need a car up here anyway...

fuel it only runs on floptimax, regular unleaded makes it pink like a bitch also, costs much more with insurance & all... jsut cant be done need to put all fundage in the rebuild! plus it drinks fuel like a vodka whore...
