I hope you're right, although I'm sure you said something similar last year
Maybe if you stopped fannying around with those renaults it'd be done by now

I reckon the only person that can challenge me is Tim (Slooby), not sure why I feel the need to boast about that
...my only excuse is that although I like cars fun is the driving force in my life and this ain't always fun
