Got my new daily over the weekend.... a lot of car for so little money.
Cost me less than a grand and is still pretty much 100% complete/working. (I need to regas the aircon and replace a number plate bulb)

Best barge I\'ve ever driven :Giggle

I\'ve looked at getting one of these before, what are they like to drive? I know that are quite bomb proof but anything your not keen on?

I\'ve done about 200miles so far and the only gripe (not a gripe as such) is that at low speeds it\'s so quiet inside it\'s very easy to be doing 60 instead of 40! :rollin
