how diverse is your driving ?
I regularly drive ;
1. fiesta van, old, underpowered, slow, floats along cheaply.
2. bmw coupe, powerful, fast, comfortable.
3. mgf trophy, road hugger, very fast, go-kart.
each gets from a to b, but in totally different modes
1. glad to arrive
2. sorry the journeys over
3. finish with a smile!
is there more diverse transport?
