Default New run around. What do you think?

I guess i might gamble on losing all the possible 'street-cred' and get one of these for commuting to work in Central London.

No road tax, free parking, free charging and no congestion charge payment. Top speed 45mph.

Ideal for London! Do not go for the tiger or leopard look though whatever your instinct tells you.

Budgie, anything is modifiable (if that is a word)

I use to have a Fiat Seicento (yes, one of those yellow things) and modded that as much as I could!!!!! It was pretty cool, and got me noticed!!

have to agree with vega there, would rather sit in one of them than be stuck on a train twiddling my thumbs, at least in that thing i can: A) have a ciggy when i want b) listen to whatever music i want and not what everyone else has got on their ipod and c) pull over if i fancied a cuppa

Can you do the trip you need to? It only has a 40 mile range!! In the city I'd say go for it, being cheap to run....
