In an attempt to save some precious beer tokens I bought a new car last week. When I say new I actually mean a ten-year old car but it's new to me. My old motor was a 1.8 petrol Vauxhall Vectra and although I liked the beast it was far too costly on fuel and needed to go find a new home.
Step forward the 1.5 diesel powered Citroen Saxo, a car that was once known as the clitoris Saxo because "every c**t" had one" The words of the chavviest magazine on the planet "Max Power" not mine may I add. So far I'm quite impressed with my purchase mainly because it handles like a go-cart and is really easy to drive. It is also a bonus that it seems to have some sort of reserve tank which is powered by uranium and plutonium rods as it simply doesn't use any diesel! I've done almost 300 miles so far and it's not even down to half a tank!
Of course there are some negatives, the first being the reason it handles like a go-cart. It's size. It's bloody tiny compared to my old car but at least I get to keep check that I still have both of my knees because they are directly under my chin whenever I am driving! Also, it is slow and I mean slow. The official 0-60mph time just says "it's possible" so there will be no racing on my part for the foreseeable future. One thing that I think was a great idea by Citroen though is how they spiced up the driving experience for their customers. The complete lack of acceleration and speed is counter balanced by the fact the brakes are made from wood, they are absolutely terrible, terrible to the point where I am going to have to put my foot in the back wheel if I need to do an emergency stop!
All said and done though it appears to be in decent enough condition and if it keeps sipping fuel like it is doing then I am not going to moan about the other faults as it will be serving its purpose as a cheap to run motor and there aren't too many of those knocking around at the moment.
Although it is the sixth of the month today I am still to play a single hand of poker, I just haven't had the urge to do so. That said I will probably be hitting the tables with increased enthusiasm in the next few weeks as I have just entered a bonus code on Betfair Poker which means that I will essentially be getting 83.5% valueback by playing tournament poker on there. The plan is to grind a ton of the double or nothing sit and go tournaments and hope to simply breakeven at worst and clear this bonus. The need for funds is even greater now but more on that in another blog post. So keep your eyes peeled for this fish on your tables, I go by the name of Y0rk51r3Pud on Betfair Poker so feel free to say hi if you bump into me at any point!
As always, thanks for reading and best of luck at the tables!
