so much you can't be arsed doing anything with it, can't be arsed to clean it, can't be arsed to drive it, can't be arsed to mod it in any way shape or form.
Bought the Vectra with good intentions but basic fact is I bloody hate it. No matter what i do i can't seem to like it.

I can't afford to just yet. Waiting on being made permanent first (next 2 weeks hopefully) then going to sort something out.

Mums Seat Ibiza.
1.2 Porsche engine. Wasn't fast, when you went round bends you slide accross onto the passanger seat, tyres no wider than my bicycles, and all 4 wheels kind pointed under the car.
BUT
It started every time, it was bloody cheap motoring for my mother, and never went wrong. So it was a terrible car, but as a cheap checkoslovakian (?sp) runaroudn type thing, it was brilliant.
That or my dads Skoda Rapid..... Rear engined, RWD, 1300cc I think. Terrible looking, but again, another cheap car, never went wrong, and made numerous trips to the dump with the front end so full of concerete (building a garage) and rubble that the tyres nearly scrubbed the arch. Another trash motor that although had the p1ss repeatedly taken out of, it actually was a good little car.
Still, a dad offering you a Skoda Rapid as a first car at 17 really doesn't do any good for the ol credability... I waited to buy my own car instead
