Think u right Jim - think u spot on ! :thumbleft:

Cheers guys :D

On my list already guys :) Does that mean I need to get a cap, slippers and smoking pipe to match? :D

Yes Looking at a couple of mk2 + mk3 ford focus LPG s. Mk2 lower mileage at £700-£1500 Mk3 higher mileage at £2-2.5k I think Focus are cheap to fix And most importantly very very good to drive?

Course u can! My C was cheap and fun.... ...initially it was cheap .....I think

Cheers Jim Honda s already on my list... Merc s of 90s were bullet-proof and top quality - but think I want to downsize to a smaller car and something newer - 10-12 years old...

Lol I said SERIOUS recommendations!

Lol David Celica s not practical enough for family - I prefer 5 doors and more rear ceiling space :) Did I mentioned I had a Gen4 Celica?

OK Not had much luck lately with buying cars. Some of u know about my C ... Some of u now know about my MG (no major issues, but ghost of Christmas C still haunts me :eek:) I have put my MG for sale now, record time for me! This record beats my last record of selling the C within 4 months of ownership! :( I just want the following to last me 3-5 years to save money - as saving for house deposits: 1. Reliable 2. Cheap (buy/maintain) 3. No water leaks 4. Fun to drive 5. £700-£2k 6. 5 door hatchback Optional 7. Auto 8. Petrol 9. LPG Any SERIOUS recommendations? Cheers all

I know too :( Determined next car be Jap (more reliable) Or cheap as chips so don't mind scrapping it a less of a loss Really want a ugly, reliable, cheap work horse for next 3-5 years. Something I can leave and not having to wash to keep it looking nice. Something I can just park anywhere and don't care being bashed Something that rarely goes wrong or have water leak issues And the car in front is a Toyota ? :dance:

I know bud....trying too But u know all too tempting when a nicer looking car is a few £100s more.... Then another a few more £100s more.....then u at £3k now :shocked!:

Lol OK Sean. If next car I view is totally neglected, blue smoke, Mayo in oil cap and even struggles to start - then I ll BUY it! :lol:

Still here ... Still unsure of next car....maybe cheap sub £2k Jap hatchback 1.4 with LPG...

Lol Yup - its already being discussed on the Rover forum :thumbleft:

Well I saw the TopGear programming with the one where they convert normal cars to ambulances...Jezza bad a Porsche? Hamster an A-Team van and Capn Slow was it Scooby? I was thinking the C would do better :lol:

Just checked your original post - yup :lol: I ll wotsapp u exact location and u can knock on his/her door and ask ....:dance:

6am [...VFM] Black Corrado parked up near Bradford Hospitals (without giving away exact location)

Lol OK Mr Bing :D

Yeah right Who u in the PIC? Sputnik or rabbit? :shrug: :lol: :dance:

I think my MG can take your C ... ...but in 3rd :dance:

WO Didnt I overtake so u can hear my ROAR? Anyway Yes - yours was quick :D

Cool It's really boils down to personal preference....

I know I meant is the 16v C more fun in other ways than the more powerful VR6 ? The Golf comparison was just a metaphor :lol: If I still had a garage I would buy a cheap C to tinker with in a heart beat (AS LONG as its mechanically sound - :lol:)

Sadly I just bought it by myself and fell in love with it immediately :( Missed her a lot - but at least the new owner got time/money and the tools to restore her now :thumbleft:

Before buying the C I was buying the Mk2 Golf GTi 8v Sure 8v less power than the 16v - but been told 8v more engaging and fun? Is this what u mean by the 16v, Andy? What about the Supercharger? :shrug:
