    Looks and colour far more important. :)

    Indeed. And if it was any car it wouldn't be a Ford anyway. :)

    Well next time your car is breaking down in the street after limping through 15 miles on one gallon, and you've swerved around some pedestrians because you can barely control the thing, you'll be glad you had the colour as your top priority. Luckily, it'll be so poor in performance even the shoddy brakes will stop you. Then again, it won't be out that often as it'll be costing you a mortgage on every journey. :)

    If you have no interest in the mechanics it's best to have someone do it for you or the bill will be even higher when it goes wrong. Learned that the hard way a long time ago.

    I'm having a beer right now which definitely changed my location. as It is the 2nd pint this week, so that's doubled my intake.

    I have little interest in the mechanics as maintenance, but being the little brother of a retired motor engineer, it means that I have access to a big garage where I can maintain my bike, which thankfully doesn't need much. Cars are actually easier to work on than bikes, so occasionally I'll get my hands slightly dirty just to keep my skills up. I have a sad cousin who has always got his head under a bonnet, and he occasionally asks for help.

    Cars are so incredibly cheap anyway, it's ridiculous. I only think of them as A to B to A transport though. I got my silliness, as far as they are concerned, out of my system years ago.

    That seems to be somewhere between an Accord and a Civic.

    Portugal for me!

    I'm a bit concerned though, as it says I'm likely to drink 624 glasses of wine a year.... Now that's not 2 glasses of red a day, which technically makes me unhealthy!

    How big is Vatican City? I have it in my head that it's just a block. Square, like the flag.

    The car colour thing worked for me (red), and the personality type was pretty close too...I did it twice, lied a bit the second time, and it came up black, which would be my next choice if I was able to select the colour. Interesting little quiz.

    I'm Kuwait. I have been on antibiotics for a wisdom tooth removal and haven't been able to drink. That was easy.

    A lingerie football league is being set up in the UK. This is a dreadful Americanism that we could well do without. Yes, it may bring money in, but then so does stripping and prostitution. Admittedly it is not as awful as the American version (where they really play in underwear), but it still suggests that looks matter more than skill. Girls can't always be good looking (just like men).

    P.s. the only good thing is that some of the girls have large areas of tattoos, proving that looks don't matter to them. <laugh>
