Country:  | Finally got a photo of my current daily ride.
37+ MPG and she'll cruise easy at 85 mph (I keep it a shade under in the 75 mph zones). Fully loaded I enjoy driving her.

Country:  | My friend has a bra for his Polo GT - only keeps it on for four days at time, then four days off, then four days on. Supposed to keep the fade at bay. Quick machine as well - Polo GT Mk.III 1.3 'bout 80 BHP with ECU 'n chip, lowered 60mm. Starts pulling away from mine on a drag in 'bout 3rd gear. Here's his pride 'n joy.. http://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/lofi...hp/t73706.html
Rattles like fook though 'n NOT a comfortable ride.

Mate of mine had a car bra on his Golf Clipper. Just took it off today and found it had caught grit underneath and scratched the paintwork quite badly! Needless to say it's now been put back on

Country: | You've all seen my truck, the '87 Mazda B2000 pick-up. Was telling FBJ,
after driving it for twenty years, last week-end I put power steering on it.
Just two parts, two hoses and a belt. A four hour job, and wow... what
a difference.
