i like driving. i particularly like driving manual cars. not that i don`t love the joys of cruise control and not having to balance the clutch sometimes, but i`d rather give those up that a manual gear shift.
i think my love for driving came from my mother. she had an original 1000 mini, manual […]

the 9th circle of my own personal musical hell is more about artistes whose every […]
