A tale of a Scotsman living in SW london...

Driving onward

Spent a lot of time in the car the last few of days, both mine and a borrowed Seat Leon 2.0 turbo FR. Today, a trip to Guildford and onto Worcester was nearly uneventful apart from a near miss with a transit van. He'd obviously been fiddling with something as he was going stright across toward the central reservation as he entered a bend. Little bit of panic steering, with everyone around him hitting the brakes, saw the incident avoided.

The Seat was a cracking car, brilliant engine (the power!!!) and seats. Downside is the dash, which was uninspriring. Good toys (USB connection for your MP3 player for example), but the dash would annoy me too much. It doesn't backlight any of the heating or stereo controls in daylight, which made reading them very tricky. I'd be forever driving with sidelights on, which would just annoy me too much.

Ah well, just have to keep saving for that BMW 335i coupe (in my dreams!)
