Yeah that was true, then they had to use spent coca leaves. And they used caffiene to give the buzz.

Think Cola was used as a medicine or sorts in its early days.

I'll miss the power but think I'll have to.
Probably stick to petrol though

if i didn't have to carry tools round in my car for work i'd by a new small car with free road tax can't see why any one who spends most of the time in the car on their own would consider buying a big car. one of those fiat 500 twin air things would do me.

The computer on it is way too complex too. Part went wrong a while back which was £450. More warnings are coming up again now.
Otherwise I love the car, I'd miss it

i don't they would have taken my licence off me. however i'd probably of got the box fitted then taken it off and stuck it on my mums car.

Don't think it would have worked for me back then, but I'm a reformed character now.
