I was considering a small car, possibly a diesel Fiesta with 170k on the clock. But I splashed out an extra fiver and went for the 75 instead.

My favorite colour is Coppertone Red as I love its contrast with the chrome trim. Ironically there's one in that colour in the members cars for sale pages. It needs work for its MOT but if I was looking for a 75 I would have been very interested in buying it, having the necessary repairs done and putting it back on the road.

Yes Simondi, lots of useful advice; one snippet I picked up was to keep the fuel tank at least 25% full in order to protect the pump.

Commiserations on being stuck with this lot for the the rest of your life as now you have a 75 there is no escape, it gets into your blood and stays there. Beautiful car btw, well done

Perhaps the same ones who posted flyers in this area a couple of days ago offering loans at Representative 535.3% APR!
Nice money if you can get it. I have obliterated the contact details to prevent the person being completely overwhelmed with demand. |
