It really is no consolation. I suppose the one good thing about it is that it shows other road users that you are either supremely fertille and virile and stuff like that. Or you are disabled

My shoulder is fucked

also. That female commentator on Match of the Day. She is rubbish.

It`s a bit of a pisser when the mirror fitting isn`t easy to get a hold of. I swear Id hve kicked the shite out the fucker if I had caught him. At least he had the gumption to lob it into my front garden. The car was out in front of my garages at the back of my house and then there is a long lane up the side of the property and they have lobbed it in there probably not realising its all the same house. Its petty shitty stuff like this that annoys me more than anything else. I could take some random coming up and belting me in the face easier than I took this.

I still haven`t driven the Zafira yet. Vauxhall really are shit. I woke up this morning to see that some fucker had ripped the wing mirror off the Lancia and lobbed it into our garden. I am so glad that it happend while I was asleep because I would have ripped the p***ks lungs out if I had seen them doing it. Fucking c**t.

I got into the Kinks via American garage music bizarrely enough. Loads of these kids had obviously learned Kinks riffs from their early stuff and flung it into their own music. I always liked the Kinks but hadn`t really delved that deeply into them. Realising that the Kinks were influential with American teenagers in the mid sixties made me take a look at them again. I much prefer the Kinks to the Beatles in terms of songwriting. I think Davies is tremendous.

We certainly didn`t Davies is hugely under rated and while he is still influential he never seemed to get the recognition for a guy with such an immense talent. What a legacy of music though.

I love The Kinks. I`m actually liking them more and more as I get older. My old band used to do a killer cover of Lola B)

Which magazine. I fucking hate it. I subscribed to it years ago because they gave me a free bunch of argos vouchers or something like that. I hate the way Mrs Smith of Portsmouth comes on and slates the latset model from Alfa Romeo because the seat is a bit too narrow for her vast arse. And Mr Brown of Nottingham really rates the quiet operation of the latest Zanussi washer/drier. f**k off Which.

shit cars in every conceivable way

Corporal punishment. It`s the only language the little fuckers understand

My Integrale could hit sixty in just over five seconds and a hundred in not much over twelve. It was Ferrari money to run the thing though Once I get the head rebuilt on my Thema I might shift it on. It`s a `94 series three regulation two litre 185bhp. Suede interior ,sun roof ,reasonably well looked after but its had kids in it... . Electric everything but it doesnt have air conditioning which is a good thing. I hate air con as it dries up my contact lenses B) . The insurance is group 18 out of twenty on these things though so its always hefty. I had a Lancia Fulvia 1.3 once and it was group twenty . Same as a Porsche 911 and any Ferrari

It was a Swiss import and he had bother getting a quote because they were never imported to the UK. The V6 model is also an automatic which doesn`t suit a lot of Italian car owners as they prefer to drive "properly" B) Its quite a nice mafia type car though. It has curtains for the rear windows which is pretty cool. Its not ferociously quick but it will get you to 60mph in just under eight seconds. And it rides like a magic carpet on the motorway. You wont get parts for these cars at kwik fit or your local garage either. You need folk like me to keep you right

My mate is selling a V6 Thema for four hundred quid. Its left hand drive and a nice deep burgundy colour with a hand stitched leather interior. Its only got sixty thousand kilometers on the clock. I will be selling the Gamma at some point but it will stay in Lancia circles as its good for showing at car shows and stuff. The insurance will cost you about three times the cost of the Thema though. At least.
