As Kev says, that will probably be a brilliant car, and i wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a long term member of the family,

Good buy mate :D

Well still no date for hip replacement but having now owned for 6 months was due an MOT having done about 20 miles in that time. Put a "new" £8 tyre on her and the result, flying pass with not a single advisory.

My mate is an "actor" (she was a prostitute in the Bill once!! :o ) and has run one of these on a poverty budget for years, it never looks any different and never fails an MOT and she hauls it all round the country, the fact that it is called a "Starlet" and she isn't, makes it a constant source of amusement!!
