Parking in Sainsburys at lunchtime.

Not literally *in* Sainsburys, of course.

Simple

It's because they put the fun back into motoring!

Picked up my new car on Friday (VW Toe Rag) and used it for work today.

Until the weather gets really bad, the Toe Rag can stay on the drive at home and it's back on the bike!

I know which I prefer....
