As Monday's go this certainly wasn't the worst, my beloved Alto blew its head this morning.

So I bought a Volvo 940 for £250
Not another curse word car... by srblythe, on Flickr
I had set out to find a sub £300 shitter to tide me over until I had enough motivation to fix everything that needs doing but have ended up with a car which I actually like. The Sigma, I bought on Friday, I liked the idea of a big comfy cruiser for long journeys but I think the 940 fits the bill so I want to sell the Sigma to raise some funds for other jobs that need doing.

The car starts, drives and stops reasonably well, It seems quite quick but I've only had a go on a singe track road so couldn't go as fast as I would have liked.
It needs an exhaust silencer, rear wheel bearing and battery before it gets an mot, it may need other work but those are the things that stood out when checking it over on the weekend.
I only want what it owes me. The car is in Cowdenbeath, Scotland. Trailer/transporter is recommended to take it away.
