Big grins all round (although the first time he opened it right up, i almost
fell off the back!).
I was thinking of maybe starting with the 600 in a few years time (although
the likelihood of me having any money in a few years time is probably quite
slim
)

Love is like a snowmobile, speeding across the frozen tundra.
Which suddenly flips, pinning you underneath.

That's one of the 1% of cars that has a better power / weight ratio than a middleweight sportsbike. We can safely say that Steven won't be building one of those, though ;-) |
