Wasn't really sure a progress thread was for me seen as I don't generally do a lot to cars, but this one may be different so thought why not!

This is the first Citroen I've ever owned, so obviously the first saxo I've owned. I have however had a large array of cars that I've gone through in my 5 years of driving:

- 4 x Fiestas (cheap to run, cheap to insure and even cheaper to fix)
- Peugeot 306 (officially the worst car I've owned.. Personal opinion)
- Renault Megane (good but mounts break easily)
- Ford Mondeo (my old diesel shed)
- Renault Clio (nippy little thing)
- Seat Ibiza (bought for £150)
- BMW 316 (I loved this car)
- BMW 318 (big engine, sluggish standard power)
- Mercedes C180 (cruiser car)
- Toyota MR2 (rapid, very rapid but a sh*t to repair)
- Fiat Stilo (electric problem galore)

And now my saxo.

So.. If you're still with me.. Well done!

Anyway.. I just bought a mk2 VTR for the sum of £400. A bargain in my opinion, especially with tax until Feb and MOT until Jan. Totally standard apart from BK racing rims.

Only work that needed doing (so I thought) was drop link, lambda sensor and few bodywork issues.

Well.. Drop links have been done and lambda sensor will be getting done. However, it appears a potential driveshaft issue has arisen and the wheels need balancing.. That just the start it seems!

I'll be doing bits and bobs over the next few weeks/months so make sure you watch this thread

.

When I figure out how to add pics I will.. Unless someone fancies telling me how to do it?

Cheers all, speak soon!
