If you happen to value convenience and your foot tan more than safety, check out Bata’s website to pick yourself up a pair.

LOL, I think you'd find I'd be a tit even without my Triumph mate.

My concern with people who choose to drive a Volvo, is that their priority in purchasing a car is that it should be safe when they crash.!

IMHO this is why their driving reputation is all too frequently well earned. ( (blush) sorry Monty)

I didn't chose it, plus I think it's actually a Ford. It's a V40 which I think is based on a Focus.
