£200 - amazing what kind of car you get for cheap.

Go back 10 years and a £200 car would be a complete dog.

My bird had a 1.0 one of them, I made her sell it, it was awful and I felt a cunt driving it.

Its a good buy for £200 that though! She Paid £1800 for hers

I drove a P reg one for pizza delivering , it was the 1.0 16 valve model Shifted round town and the brakes were like hitting a brickwall compared to my 1.4 8v corsa, loved every minute of it. It got absolute fucking death from me, my mate, a guy who weighed 20 odd stone and then the Indians who owned the take away, and we all know how they drive Not a single thing went wrong on that car, and I would have one if I was only goiong round town, make your ears bleed at 70

My Grandma had 3 of them, an L reg, an S reg and a 51 plate. Now, she has a Kia Picanto, which, no word of a lie is 100 times better.

She had a 1.3 Auto, 2x 1.0 Autos and now she has a 1.1 Auto in the Kia.

I understand the noisey at 70 bit, but, lets face it, its a runabout
