Got my car off ebay, a bog standard 1.6 Sport in "A1 condition" - Stoke to Nottingham way, Calverton I think? I had to go through Sherwood Forest I know that

Prob knocking on 150 miles round easy, but was worth it, car was very, very good. Had it 2 yrs now, given me no shit at all. Still remember the day I picked it up lol kinda prefered it then than I do now it's modded!
