Cool little car, are you going to pimp it up? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Here is a picture I took of one at GTI international a few years ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~geo/Inters06/DSCF1115.jpg) -------------------- |

How is it £35 a yr tax? I thought it was the same for every car in the UK and up north?

I like them, haven't they got a sub chassis, a big gap under the floor, supposed to be a fairly strong chassis AFAIK? -------------------- Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.

Under a ton in weight, not too sure about much else (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) A well made wee car, with bags of legroom, small boot though |

we had one of them a few years back in silver as well, 1.4 petrol though, nice car to drive and very economical.
underbonnet space is very poor on them though, even an oil change was an ordeal! -------------------- |
