Until I have my civic sorted I needed a car to get me by. never intended to get a saxo but this one came along and seemed like a good buy and something that would easily be sellable in the future.
Build quality and driving position is shit along with the gearbox and feeling like a chav but its amazing fun  Fast too 
Got a few mods
>blistien shocks and springs
> 4 - 1 manifold
>sports cat
>magnex cat back
> raceland induction kit
> super chip (not sure if this is any good  )
> gti6 brakes
> chav sound system 
Needs a wash and a wax as the water just sits on it  so will get some good pics once that has happened
few from the drive
What is the dial on the far right for? Sits in the middle when driving
If I grow to like it I might spend a few pennys on it and refurb the wheels as they are bad (anthracite :cool and paint the grille black again as I dont like it silver and replace the damaged plastic under the light.
But its just been serviced and has newish proxies so its ready to go. Only thing I am doing asap is changing the pads as they are EBC ones and are horrendus unless hot.
CTR and now a saxo so I am doing well at been hated

Are you fixing the CTR then? From only seeing the pics it looks like a lot of work!
VTS doesn't look so bad

Dial on the right is your Chavometre. You obviously weren't going full on chav at the time
Tbf they are alright cars and very nippy too. You dont have to do a lot to them to make them look nice either

Might take it down southend and blast out some tunes whilst doing a one handed burn out to see if I can get it up near the red
I assume its oil pressure or something maybe?

They can let go at any moment, I had a very brown pant moment 24hrs after the wife bought hers, we were coming off the motorway onto the service station slip road when all of a sudden the back end just slid round on me. I ended up facing on coming traffic
I drove the thing like a granny for days after that
