dr_broon Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 properly gutted. that set off a bit of a dodgy car history - 1.6 J reg cavilier with the best reg ever (J460 CUM) which I found didn't have an air filter in when I went to change it... explains the clouds of black smoke that used to belch out of it! in the end it got scrapped because of the longest MOT fail list ever (they had to write on the back of the sheet). next up was a 1.4 pug 306 (though it did have a lush momo steering wheel) that I ran until the clutch went, then scrapped it (but didn't retrieve the wheel - DOH!). then I got a 1.8 Carina with 190k on the clock, which was mint for covering the 350 miles a week I was doing on the commute, and had a HUGE boot. Eventually the o2 sensor went which was going to cost £400 to sort (only paid £300 for the car). I went to look at a volvo at the garage to trade the Carina in, but saw the deck and then the VTI sign, and then googled it and here I am. test drive sold it all day 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Awesome reg! I notice that people will get rid of a Honda and even though it may take a while, they always end up in another one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jool83 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Its sad to see it there notice you had a pug 306 something you'll never go back to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
