Well, been thinking about taking the cally off the road over the winter to have a tinker with it and sort out some minor problems, so was thinking about another cheap car to run around in, as the senator costs a fortune to run..
cars i considered started of sensibly.. nova, fiesta, metro so basically if i broke it, it wouldnt matter, then i had random thoughts of a metro turbo  cheap as chips and 100 brake.. then moved on further, and i think i actually want a saab 
saab 9000 2.0 turbo carlsson.  old skool 80's cool 204 brake and £650
check it out!
think i've lost the plot, coz it'll cost the same as the cally to run!

Don't do it Matt, I used to work on them.
Horrible torque steer and handling, and everything will break; go wrong or fall off; and then cost a king's ransom to fix.
Deffo don't get a Metro either (unless it's a 6R4), they're constructed from compressed rust you know
