Has anyone noticed that they have gained a few pounds since they started driving. Casting your minds back to when you first started driving(those of you out there that are aged and wise drivers)

I drive almost everywhere now and Fitness First is a distant memory and my membership card has fossilised!

Add Burger Sauce to your chips mate. Then see how easy it is to drive in comparison

Me too!! Since I started driving in 1997 I put on 6 stone.
Luckily I've lost almost 3 in the past couple of months, it was a hard Christmas.
:evil:

The up side is greater acceleration and a higher top speed.

I've most likely put on some weight no doubt but I can't sure since the scales is one of my worse enemy(!). However, I can be very sure that I have lost pounds of another measurement...cash...and lots of it...on...

Petrol (bloody expensive!)
Road Tax
MOT (yet to have one this year...)
Speeding fines...of which I have two already in the last year!
and Depreciation...

Who cares eh?...bring on the good times...thats what I say!
