Day 5 – Lazy Friday
RRRRRRrrriiiiiing…seems like explosions in my head, i try to figure out whats happening but soon realize its the alarm clock. Snooze…… Snooze …. Snooze and finally I roll out of bed with fading memories of the drive last night, seems like a distant dream now. Its Friday and we are looking -ward to the weekend, finally a link to days to unwind with friends.
Heading to work there is unexpectedly much more traffic than typical. The Figo’s light steering enables us to cut through it like a knife in butter. We travel through the same road we gaggle last night and it looks a wee bit different during the day. It was overcast and the cloud cover looked gorgeous.
Heading home after work, we stopover at the mall – some shopping.
A word of caution, avoid taking your wife or girlfriend – a shopping expedition in the Figo, its a sure shot -mula to bankruptcy considering the boot can accommodate shopping bags worth your once a year income.
We dint do justice to the boot space by the looks of it. We are now heading to catch up with a few friends who are waiting to check out the Figo one on one. We will keep you posted on what they feel about this machine.
Todays Question – If you had to pick up a Figo, which colour would it be and why?
Get writing, the competition closes at midnight on 31st July.
