So after all that what is it like to drive? well, it's fab the engine is  very quite sometimes you wonder if you have turned it on, it uses £45 of fuel every month which means i get about 410 miles every month. 

Unlike the last cars i have had, you don't feel all the road inperfections you are just gliding along the road #

It has an eco setting its like start stop took me a few weeks to descover it tho.

if you know how to drive in the snow (like me) its great stays soild to the ground and when it does start to slide (exteam SNOW) the car flashes with a warning. 

The interior looks awsome and stays clean for weeks as it's glossy  

Anyway, that's all from me see you all in my next blog

Please send me questions I am doing a Q&A 

Bye :) see you next time

Hello everyone welcome to my first blog.

I am hoping to
have a blog out every month so keep your eyes peeled.

Well this month hasn't gone very well, my car "BUZZ" had its MOT on November 6th and failed; I can't afford all the repairs so I am not too sure what to do, but a big THANK YOU to Adam Rayner who has helped me fix some of the MOT failure points.

I am also still looking for a job.... I hate having to go job centre makes me feel low when i go in, i have worked very hard for about 5 years in college and uni and what do I get £46 a week not good...

Anyway got to look forward to December a very busy month for me working every weekend until 31st December 2012 which is when Peter Pan finishes make sure you come and see it at Gracie Fields Theatre. I will have a special blog about that in the new year hopefully

see you then..

If I don't see you until after Christmas have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)  

Comments are welcome..
