Default And on the subject of supermarkets....

Another exercise in depression

I have been to 'Jeffries Farm' in Crawley

Probably 500 cars in one big warehouse - and not one I would want to test drive, let alone own

OK - I saw two I imagine my g/f would like - a red convertible Beetle and an MR2 (both too gay for most blokes)


But overall, you could stand at one end and look down a line of cars

And not tell them apart!

I've never been to one.

Are they new or used cars or both?

If new or pre-registered, I'd consider it for my next company car, but I'd want a big saving

Looks good, although the full stock list seems to be a bit lacking at the moment.

Too many Mercs & Porkers

They're just not for us. They are for the people who cannot afford to make a statement of individuality, or do not know how. This is why they are in the format of a supermarket. They too attract the mass unwashed in their Mondeo Ghia's, BMW 316's and Picasso's. It's all they know.

I know what you're getting at but I'd hardly call buying a two seater sports car a statement of individuality! It's all relative IMO

Well I could die my hair green, but then I'd look like more of a tit than I already do.

It does show that you've thought about it though...
