It's just very obvious sometimes, that was obvious.

Not to worry, I simply pass the info on from the people that told me all about it in the first place.

Heh heh! With those X-Power exhausts, the temptation is overwhelming Andy!

Just a shame it aint a tourer, otherwise I'd be there with the suitcase of used fivers!!!

Hi there,

It's me who bought the Chester one.

Just to say that I've done 1300 miles in it now and there seems to be no problems.

It's sliding round the roundabouts in Milton Keynes very nicely when the traction control is off (is there a way of turning off permanently) and feels really well screwed together.

As for the slightly dodgy paint and the scuffed wheels, I don't even notice cause it's never clean eanough to see!
I do intend contacting the previous owners to find out it's history but haven't got around to that yet.

Hi that might be a good idea take a look at the thread I started about the car on XPF as the pevious owner can probably fill you in on the missing service history etc

I bought one for £8400

PS Yes I found it did that very nicely as well

all three estates I tried had that very controllable tail slide feeling on demand if wanted

My saloon does not step out as easily, I wonder if that means I will get longer tyre life

I don't have TC that's for girlies

Yeah but it has 40K on it, isn't an SE, isn't an estate and is dirty

Keith · 27th November 2006, 17:00

I gave it a wash

and it will soon be an SE I can't do much about the lack of cat flap at the back though

so this one (the Auk) is a good substitute and it is not Black
