    I did my first wheelspin yesterday. Whhooopsie.

    I was leaving a junction on a particularly rainy day, and as I am known to if I don't think REALLY hard I take off like a racing driver. My gear changes are aggressive and my acceleration is a little too fast. I don't particularly break the speed limit (muuuch) but my driving instructor gets scared by accelerating quite that fast :p I also tend to take corners a little too, uhh, agressivley as well. I brake into it and hit gas at the apex. Throws me round the corner absolutley perfectly, but my driving instructor gets scared :p

    Dammit I need to go on a track day and get all this out my system!! :D

    its quite exhausting, driving down all the country roads to and from it as well, lol. Whereabouts did you go through?

    McA, londons not so bad.... but then again, goldie and I have both lived there ;) I once accidently found him at a gig I went to in the astoria... I had no idea he was there. He manages to turn up in the oddest of places, lol.

    Indeed! I get around, me :p

    London is a fantastic place to be, if you ask me. Its hard to lead a boring life in London (though I'm sure possible...).

    yeah, I wish i could afford to go there more often :(

    It's going to be difficult, if I have to choose between LSE and an equally good( or even better) uni, outside of london!

We got to covent garden after running up and down sooo many escalators, I swear,we must have looked like utter tourists!
