I'd love a VVC Metro. I've had 2 1.4's, and they go well enough.
If it's a 160BHP engine, it'll go like fook.

K series engines r ok once they had the headgasket done once, my brothers went and it never went again after simlar for other ppl he knew as well, the new gasket was like a metal one.. The other great thing about the engine isit is so dam light its unbelivable even the 1.8 is.
