OK, just a bit of lighthearted fun. We're all familiar with the use of Man Maths to justify (normally just to ourselves) expenditure on something automotive. This concept also appears in song lyrics from time to time, so the challenge is to list some of them. My offering: "I drive a...

I have been facing a bit of an uneasy time/upheaval and have been mulling over a few different options. I was going to sell the 126 as I don't really have a use for it. But I don't really want too as its really nice to drive and spend time in and to be honest is hardly worth selling at the...
