Righty, here's my car!
Thought I'd give it a quick rinse and take some piccies seeing as it was bright outside!
And now the niggly bits I'm gonna sort:
I'd say it's not bad for £650!!!
All I can seem to find wrong with it (after getting the petrol gauge and lights sorted and the fob fixed) is those two door bits being a bit minging. And the brake from the drivers side fron being a bit 'grindy' when it's bone dry but not noisy when it's wet?! Got a mechanically minded friend popping over soon to check it out.

Also, that's dedication to wash your car in the snow.. Did you have gloves? That must of been horrific on your hands.. With my poor circulation that would be bloody agonising.

For now, run about. But if/when I get a new job in London, I am hoping to do a few bits to it, nothing too mental...just put my stamp on it, first thing I want is a new bloody sound system for it!

Had a months tax and mot on it at purchase. Put 6 months on now and MOT is on 3/12/2010  Hoping it should go through as everything seems bob on minus the grinding noise which I'm thinking is the drive shaft after much research, not an MOT fail that is it?
And sorry once again to all offended by my pitiful wrong section action!

Hot water & one hand in my pocket! Haha, wasn't too bad, it was running up and down two flights of stairs with buckets of water that was most horrible, good job I'm like a whippet

It was a toss up between this and a ford Puma I'd seen at slightly more money, but plumped for this as it was the cheaper option and seemed spot on (minus one or two to-be-expected niggles)

I had a vts that got to around 70k and started being a bastard, I treated it dead well too, full services when they were meant to be done etc etc. But still was a twat.
Think it's the shell and stuff that surprised me the most for the mileage, got a few minor blemishes but nothing a machine polish couldn't tidy right up
