Hi phil

[phil_cardiff]

Oh God, I'm almost too ashamed to admit to what I'm driving compared to some here. It must be the most un-PH car here! It's a Corolla. Lowered. The shame. I don't even drive it much now as the gf takes it for work every day leaving me to take the bus. Shall I leave now?!

I am Phil Jones, but don't drive a gti. I've got a 1998 SR. My excuse is that it was cheap and it's never let me down.

TUT TUT taking the bus to work. Leaving the GF to drive, i assume you cant handle the power of the lowered Corolla ? You best leave now ! " Matt gets into his Hairdresser RED MR2 Brummmm "

I deserve the ridicule. I must admit I didn't see myself being in this situation 5 years ago. Then I got a woman and a mortgage. Ah well, at least I don't have an overdraft/loan/credit card debt. Might be getting some money for a car from work as part of a relocation package. Trouble is it'll be about £2.5k max! Anyone know of anything decent going for that price?!

Welcome Phil

The good thing about this bunch is that they don't seem to be elitist on the car front. Having said that, I have yet to see their faces when I finally get the Tigra out on a run

Hi Phil
Dont worry about your car, some of us drive a citroen everyday

[Huw Pugh]

Welcome to PH mate.

[phil_cardiff]

Firefoot and Mikey, at least you have access to something very nice! Never mind, mine does a job I suppose.

No need to be ashamed Phil - nothing wrong with a lowered Corolla

[chugger]

Welcome - Get yourself on the next run, one of us will take you out in a Tiv, then trade in the Corrola, the house and the missis, get yoursef a Tiv and let the good times roll (along with the wide grin)!!

[family guy]

Hello.

Being a recent newbie i can say, here is a very friendly bunch of people.

[AR]

Phil is not about the car, is about the attitude.

Welcome on board.

BTW there are plenty of nice cars for less than £2.500.00

Cheers,

AR

Shame on you Mr Chugger, the poor fella has only just introduced himself and you've got him
divorced, homeless and living in a very unreliable rocket ship

Oh how I love my unrealiable rocket ship - warp factor 9 Mr Sulu - make it so.
(Sorry, bit of a Trekkie moment there.)

AnywayWELCOME Phil, get yourself out on next run, it doesn't matter what your driving - we just have a drive, a chat and a laugh.

Thanks for the welcome guys. I agree that it's not about the car it's the attitude and I hope I have a PH attitude.

Freewheeler - your website doesn't appear to match my budget but thanks anyway!!!

John - there are lowered corolla's and then there's your lowered corolla!
