Here is my car History

I did my big bike license on one about 5yrs back, when I arrived at the testing center, the cop laughed at me and reckoned I would never pass on "that huge old thing" Well I proved him wrong!

Awesome..

I did my car license in a big ol Mx6, cop also didnt think I would make it, hardest part was keeping that 2.5 below 60..

I dont ride though, never learnt how, my boet passed away on a bike and as such, I am hesitant, and my dads been riding for years, so i guess I will give the bike thing a miss, gimme four wheels and 500+Nm though... another story
