as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11338 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Japanese and German are win. Maybe even go for something that's cosmetically damaged which lowers the price tonnes but means you're really getting a bargain. I did it with a civic and it was a godsend. | ||

fighting woo with woo Member 206, 1491 posts SQ 227.5, BP 165, DL 260652.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | I drove sub-£500 s**tboxes for many years. The pick of them was the diesel Citroen ZX. It finally died last year. It was great...surprisingly good handling, economical, and with an indestructible engine. | ||

has already offended everyone so banned Member 2402, 65 posts SQ 120, BP 97.5, DL 145362.5 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Look in the local papers, ask around. Beware though you could end up with a 100,000+ miles on the clock clanger. You might get a good PX to clear on the other hand from a dealer. | ||
