Hatfield & St. Albans does have some bollocks drivers, but do you live in Oxford? I'd be a serial killer with all the ring roads & twats about

i dont actually live in oxford, little village east side of m40 is where i live so dont see much of the stupid oxford drivers haha

every time i drove back to uni i'd get to st albans and and the nice calm driving would have to go out the window. mind you i did like the weird little stretched figre of 8 roundabout on the a414, i use to take it a fair bit quicker than everyone else which would sling shot me a good few cars further along haha.

as for the slosh, was good but i never had the time. litterally only went out a few times in 4 years. also the uni is fucking stupid, i got mucked about every year bar final year! AND they nocked down half the engineering block to put in a new student union which is cool but its an engineering uni for fuck sake, you dont go and get rid of half the engineering department!!

anyway i'll stop now as i could go on and on about how bad UH is but their prob all just as bad!

Lost my job in commercial print sales back in April.

However as of tomorrow i'm back at Arnold Clark dealing with vehicle hire and lease contracts. Worked for them when i finished Uni, really good company to work for(imo) so i plan to stick in, work hard and move up within the company asap, should have adopted this approach last time but got greedy/ambitious and left for more money... it never really worked out.

I have been at Hayes since early January 2009, so you do get some of the wembley guys come on the Saturdays. Audi sounds good

Ginge are you at the Alperton branch? Just I have seen a Impreza that looks like yours.
