 Its a sad day when you have to buy a ford, but been offered a L reg orion TD, 1 owner, 78K FSH from a freind of the family. The car is spotless and has been well looked after; its got alloys and a CD player so not all bad and only £700.
The 106 will be taken off the road and put back to standard and fixed. Then im gonna save the money when i sell it, as ive had enough of cars now

I've had a 205 and this 106 and all is good. My parents have had a 205 amnd 2 306s. They have now got a Picasso as they needed a bigger car and the 807 cost to much. I think there great cars but fell in love the Tigra so i'm having one of those next year 
Mine is fucked at the mo, drunking petol like anything but it's booked into Peugeot to be fixed on Thurs.

yer the orion is possibly the worst car that Ford produced in the 1990's if it has to be something small to run around in for a while u wud do far worse than getting a little fiesta a 1.1 on say an L wudnt cost ya anymore than 650 and thats for a really nice decent one!

You will regret it within a week - trust me
For about another £1k you could get a Mk1 cab - ask your olds for a bridging loan untill you sell the pug

Just fed up with spending out on them, had 2 nova's in 2 years and spent nothing on them mechanically, and the silver one had arond 150K on the original engine without a rebuild when i sold it.
