Guys, this is what happens to some of us when you buy a house, esp one too close to work!!!!!
2.0litre old man auto, only a mere 107k on the clock, a private plate worth £400 and got the car for £500 so if it blows up next month i wont be too bothered!
This is our new whip!! Roll on next year....
Dave
Old car beside the new one!

Remember I used to have a racing Beemer! Wasn't meant as an insult, just an excuse for more carnage!
Don't even start on the engine front

Not insulted at all.....
It's far too nice a car to race - I really mean it. Almost totally mint and drives like a peach. It's one of those motas you really can't get angry in, it's just a croooozer

Shug you know much about the in's and outs of these machines, whilst a childhood dream and it seems to be running sweetly, a year older than yours, it seems to be in good nic, I think the previous owner has looked after it, but being very old has over filled the oil a bit.
Despite all this seems very well maintained, drives very well, and again if she blows up tomorrow, not fussed..... plates worth £400 and only paid £500 so for £100 a months motoring would be acceptable but 6 months would be better!!!
