I use a Rover 200 BRM Limited Edition, had it for two years now, still going strong.

Couldn't help but want to post a pic of me new wheels. Cool

Sold the bike and my car to get this a few weeks ago....

pretty raw motoring, but way safer and more comfortable than the bike. Rolling Eyes

Sweet ride Sharky! What model is that?

Also, I liked the 200 BRM - a great car that got an undeserved panning from people who reviewed it without driving it.

I'm currently in a Ford Cougar (well, not currently - I have not 'pimped my ride' with wifi yet) but I feel I should mention that my Father has a Mitsuoka Viewt.

Yes, a Viewt - it is a Jag mark II tribute built on a nissan micra platform! It gets LOADS of attention everywhere he goes. Goodwood is especially funny.

For my commute to work, this:

For longer distances, a Peugeot 407 GT - which I have to replace early next year, and I have no idea what to get.

Mane, I get stick now, because I drive a Rover.

Its nice knowing that I have a bit of grunt in the car, when chavy 1 litre Saxos try and race you.

The BRM is a handy bit of kit. Probably still holds its own now?

Hmm BRM engine transplant into the Elise.... Twisted Evil

The Elise is standard BTW so only 118 hp. Still nippy mind.

I've got some new wheels this week.

Confused?
Well my Acegadgets internet business has been poor this year, I've only had a couple of hours work each day and it became a bit boring . Also money was a bit tight so I handed it over to the missus to run and decided i'd get my first job in 32 years. I've been self employed since I was 18 and recently have been a bit down, SO thought I'd rectify that by getting a job.
Why a Bus driver? Dunno really, just wanted to get out of retail, didn't fancy an office job and I like driving.
I've been in training for 4 weeks and passed my PSV test on Friday. Got to drive a lot of busses this week including the one above which is one of the busses in the depot that I'll be working from.
In the meantime, my son got some new wheels , a Fiat punto which you can almost see in the background of the picture below.
He's just turned 17 and got it on eBay to learn to drive in. Funny thing was, It was located in the same part of Oldham that I was born in 50 years ago. Went looking for my old house when we picked it up a couple of weeks ago, but it looked a bit rough, so didn't hang around too long, The car was actually bought from a nice chap about 200yds from where I was born.

New Wheels number 3.:- It was the wifes birthday this week, and as I'm just a poorly paid bus driver, I cant afford to buy her a new car. Instead I bouugh her a set of New wheels for her old car. I think they look lovely and so does she.
As for me and my new job, monies crap but I'm loving it, never been happier.

1 single please Mr.Ace Very Happy

I know several poeple who have done driving jobs to get away from the grind. Nice change of pace. Hope you get a route without a school on it. Wink
