When I was looking for my cheap car the rules were:

Not french
Not a rover
Less than £1000
Within 20 miles

I have a similar criteria, just a shame the purchase didn't go though me....


Well, I tell a lie.  It belonged to a friend of Lynseys and she's going travelling for a year.
I was massively hung over and the conversation went...

"Want a look around it?"
"no no no "
"Want a test drive"
"no, not really, Just give me the paperwork"

You will soon learn to hate every fibre of its cloth uphostery. I learned my lessons buying French, especially Renault. Never again...

I have bought a sticker that says "snap-off, because it's french"

Well the attempt to change the steering rack is going ahead
Started yesterday at 9:30, finished at 16:30 and had only got to page 11 of 25 of the procedure

Currently car is on axle stands on the driveway, right hand cat is unbolted but car is not high enough to remove it doh!

Well 2 weekends and borrowing a friends ramp/lift and I have managed to replace the steering rack  that's not a job I would like to face again!

Unfortunately the LPG system has a fault now and i have no idea what the issue is

3 weekends later and its all done next weekend im changing the front brakes and doing an oil change.. it never ends.

I hate every fibre of my car's being.
I am actively trying to break it.
