After selling the Nissan, I looked out for a cheap practical car that I could use for work if my job went tits up... this is what landed on my drive





Ex plod T5, 250bhp and more room that you can shake a smelly stick at. Plenty cheap too.

Very happy so far, unfortunately other road users dont seem to like it too much....

I've always prefered an estate over a saloon for some reason or another- looks more purposeful

having said that, my first estate was a montego so I suppose my taste is a little off the mark!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.
