Parolles' monologue to Helena on the downsides of virginity -- "To speak on the part of virginity is to accuse your mothers"
When owning the MG 'TF', the downside was due to lack of obvious space for everyday life, so this neccesitated a second small car as a runabout. In the grand scheme of things, this was silly having two insurance policies as well as car tax too! So I made the decision to swap both for an ex showroom display 56 plate Ford Fiesta ST as seen here. It had a 2 litre engine with 150bhp, complete with every mod con including heated seats, windscreens etc - in fact the works and was registered at Chelmsford, Essex (EO prefix)! Nice car to drive and it could move but I always though the road holding could of been better as my previous MG 'ZR' was much better whether wet or dry. Anyway, as most people realised ST's were well sought after cars especially for those who had sticky fingers and yes no surprised I was a victim of that too. Although it was hi jacked off my driveway and used in three roberies, the ST was eventually returned via a car repair company in virtually as new condition. However by the time, I decided to get rid and within two days of return, I began my love affair with Volvo's, not much different hey! The ST was not used as part exchange as I sold it privately to a young lad from Flint and no doubt, he ran it to the ground! :-))))
