What says it all for me is one of our lecturers at uni who has worked for lotus developing engines and helped design the Esprit, bought himself a brand new Clio182, all the mags say its the best hot hatch blah blah blah, but he leaves it at home and drives his wifes 900cc seicento nearly every day as he enjoys chucking it around more! I think more than anything in this speed camera, big brother is watching time small cars are more fun as you can be pushing a Seichento at 50 60mph throwing it around and revving it, to do this with a clio and get the same sensation of speed your talking 100+ mph

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

Many of my car appreciating mates have changed their minds after about such cars after being loaned the use of them as either courtesy cars or holiday hire cars.
After the initial disgust of being offered such a low rate machine they soon realise what a hoot they nomally are to drive ;D

Anyone know the PCD of the little fiat Cinq? Missus Daz has one buried under a load of Opel spares in my garage and I happen to have a set of 7.5x13" PLS Hokenheims kicking around somewhere.

No My PLS splits are 4x100 PCD. Not really a project plan as such. I just thought I would treat Dawn for being so understanding and letting me swan of to Germany to spend the 'kitchen' money on a car for myself. Never mind, I'll make her a cup of tea instead

Ask retrosteve on volkszone about Twingos, he had a monster one. It was cool but I think it had the stigma of being featured by lax bowels magazine

Just beware of build quality problems with these, despite their young age
