It is Mrs FC's car. There was also a few financial reasons as well.
I'll miss the GTi but I was stitched up by L'pool VW. 
fc has learnt alot about car dealerships

I told my local VW dealership that I felt like they were bending me over the desk, reaming me.
That got the point across double quick.

Don't get me wrong the GTI has been the best car I've owned but VW UK don't deserve them.

The Cooper S is certainly quick but the insurance for that (and the GTI) is nearly four figures for Mrs FC so for now its the Cooper.
Mind you would love a go in a Cooper Works GP!

God am getting old, not been to a gig for a while. Then went to town the other day thinking need their tunes on a real hard copy CD nothing better than a real life CD rather than download. Got to HMV shame I couldn't remember the god damn name of the band. DOH.... Life was so much simpler when all I had to worry about was the blue tak on my Kerrang - Zack De la rocha poster. You have all seen a rock gods one off, chance of a life time.
Always has the answer to lifes dilemas.

That was the only thing originally holding me back. The sound system is actually pretty good, but you never get a good view and the stage is really narrow, it's like watching a gig in a corridor.
Was awesome seeing them though, Josh was the only one who said owt, and will no doubt get in bother for smoking on stage. Not that I imagine he'd give a fuck.
It was fuckin' obvious that that cunt was gonnae fuck some cunt.

I don't like those new minis at all. They're breeding like rats round here.
But then it is true that I've absolutely judged the car by people I've met who drive them, who have, with one exception (plus present company excepted fc), been bell-ends.
Only been in one once and it was very quick.

Original minis are fantastic little machines and one of the most fun (cheap) cars you can own. I've yet to get behind the wheel of one of the new ones but from what I've read they continue that tradition, apart from the cheap bit.
