Alot of talk about accidents and saxo's being wrote off. as usual tbh

So how long have you owned your saxo for (the current one you're driving now) and how many miles have you drove in the car since you've owned it?

Also if you've had a bump and not been wrote off note it down ;)

Lets try to abolish some of the negativity and prove if you're a good sensible driver; you and your car will last.

I'll get the ball rolling:

My 1.1i saxo, owned since september 2007 done around 12,000 miles. I drive it nearly everyday, barely miss a day of driving it had a few idiots nearly hit me but I've been safe :y:
