As one ages, it's usually through various experiences that certain rules of life are formed.

I thought it might be an idea to share a few

1 - Never say to a bodyshop 'there's no rush' This means that your job will just sit gathering dust and then get rushed through when you start mithering.

2 - When using a public loo, always check if there is loo roll present before commencing.

3 - Always listen to the wife when you get home from work as they like telling you about their day.

4 - If you are facing up to someone and you feel like it's going to kick off, then get the first one in nice and hard.

5- Try to remember that most people are nice people. Even if they are being a knob, there's probably a reason behind it.

6 - Never buy an Aston Martin expecting to have a reliable, well built car. They are real wallet hoovers

7 - Don't drive around with you favourite tunes blaring out - no matter how good you feel, everyone else just thinks 'knob'

These fight against each other a bit.

Never eat yellow snow.

Drive like no-one is listening to your music choice (within reason). Hood down MX5 and 80s tunes FTW. Sorry Lord Trumpton, but life is too short.

That's the phone number she wanted you to have. It isn't really hers.

Love those that love you. Again, life is to short. Especially if they like cars.

Never take advice from anyone on the Internet.

Oh, and you'll be dead soon so none of this really matters.

Never get involved with drunks, junkies, violent Neanderthals, gamblers or religious nutters. Always ends in tears cry

(None from personal experience I hasten to add, just by observation).

Disagree on the AM - mine is one of the lowest cost low maintenance cars I have (997 and disco 4)

hehe I could have phrased it that we'd all be dead soon which has much more concerning overtones!
