Its a shed, which looks like a patchwork quilt....but hey..it was £20 and it was a years cheap motoring.

I then sold it to my mate who after 3 days of owning it changed the pads, they hadn't bedded in so when he decided to slam on on his way to work, nothing much happened, add to that the fact the tyres had been allowed to get down to the belts.......well he shunted 2 cars, the impact was so hard that the 2 cars drivers seats snapped, and the sub he had in the carlton physically broke the back seat.
Anyway we weighed the fooker in and got £50 and got to keep the alloys and backbox which got £30 and £20 respectively on fleebay.
So all in all not a bad car. Was the most comfortable car I have ever drove, to this day i remember going to pizza hut and having 2 people in the back with a huge 12" pizza box between them.......it was a beast!
