    ...and the powersteering that whines constantly and then howls when you ask it to do something.
    and the poor rear visability
    and the turning circle of a ocean liner
    and the dodgy gearboxes
    and the CV joints that they eat with monotonous regularity

    ...


    *edit* I used to have a 52 plate cooper S. There's only one word I could use to describe it. Begins with "S", ends in "T" and it isn't "Soot".

    Male, bmw Mini.

    Well theres quite a prominent scene for your type in london. Heaven is the big one, theres also G-A-Y and Fire.
    I'm not sure what to recommend for hairdressing courses really but Louie Spence hangs about the west end and he'll probably be able to give you some good advice.
    Oh and the pride parade is on 7th july.
