I was having a bit of self righteous moment last week going on about how I didn't need a car.
Well I was wrong I was an utter tit and yes you do need a car even if you live 5 minutes away from Tesco. It's a pain in the arse putting up with public transport and I worked it out that I have infact spent a lot of money on public transport and I've spent the bulk of the time standing up usually with some daftie next to me getting on my tits. Why would you want to do this day in day out are you mad, buy a car and drive it. Yesterday was the final straw when due to a little bit of rain and Waverley station got a bit damp the Scottish rail network was on its knees, train timetable was patchy, busses were late and the cabbies were taking the mick.
I've scrapped the Astra and put a deposit down on a Fiesta ST.
I apologise, of course you need a car, everybody does!!!

I shall be getting rid of my car soon, as I don't need it. I've had it six years, and done just 20,000 miles. Mind you, I just bought a bike, to get my kicks. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0...

Yep certainly do, trying to get to work 22miles away for 6 am is impossible on public transport for me and I aint paying for a taxi that far. Im fat to so no walking or biking although 44 miles a day 5 days a week would be a tad excessive to anyone I think.
I suppose when you first lost the car due to it breaking and you use public transport it all seems good and your happy about the money your saving but then the crappyness of your new found cheap transportation breaks through and you realise just how much you miss cruising around in comfort going where you want to go directly rather than round all the chavy estates and listenin to your favourite tunes on the stereo. We get raped for taxes as motorists but though I may complain I wouldnt swap my car for a bus....EVER!

Its not a matter of need. I dont need to drink beer but I like it so I do. I do the odd kart race now and then and kart tracks don't tend to be in built up areas with lots of public transport so I need a car to get there and back plus carry my kit
ds on here would walk to Scotland before they would admit to being wrong.r1ot said:
err I am a gayer, so that one really does wash over me
Unfortunate turn of phrase! 
However welcome back - most non-gayers wouldn't have the balls to post an apology and would have just slunk off and re-appeared with a new login, so kudos to you!
Only problem is, now we know you bat for the other side we can't take the p!ss and call you a gayer!
well I like my login for a start.
Honestly for the first week or so it really wasn't that bad. I still had a lot of food and drink in the house and so didn't really have to worry about lugging stuff to and from the supermarket.
I thought that tesco's direct might be a good option but it turned out a great way to get out of date food and drink. Also being the summer time (very loosely) it wasn't that bad hanging around the bus stop for the next bus (every 10 minutes my arse) but in the middle of winter wouldn't really enjoy doing that. Now 4 weeks on and this is all due to a vauxhall breakers in chatham, kent that sell vauxhall parts, mister, who have taken my 90 quid and have taken 4 weeks to deliver the goods and come out with all kinds of excuses including the label fell off the parcel. If anybody knows this lot PM me and I'll tell you what you need to know to get me my money back!!
The one thing I have learnt about not having a car is that half the journeys I used to make I didn't really need to. Plus it was handy if going down the pub it meant I could have a drink.
Also I'm in the armed forces and being a gayer you need a pretty thick skin so call me names I don't care, although if I think your being nasty I'll come after you. Oh and I don't shave my pits that really is uber gay.

After having just scanned over the said thread, unless you deleted some heated responses, you've nothing to appologise for oulde son.
But even if you had 'had a moment', fair play to you dog. It takes balls to pulicly repent on an internet forum.
Get that man a beer. Or tequila sunrise...

Err hang on. He admits batting for his own side and gets a pat on the back.Now if I admitted I bat for my own side, you lot would have wanted photographic evidence.
Some double standards going on here methinks
