  • Its here!

    £25 fills 1/4 of the tank. . . but I love it. Have taken it over the worst of the local speed bumps which used to kill me in the Smart, and she didn't even notice!

    I think the radio isn't the original, and no evidence of CD changer. . . what were they thinking in 1986!

    Thanks for all your help!

    All the more reason to find an original working one then! And how far does that £25 get you?
  • well,

    I week of motoring in. Have completed 100 miles and lookto be getting 20-25 mpg.

    The radio now works too!

    Have found "cars with stars" fabulous, new battery and new tyre, as the orig garage were [EMAIL="w@nkers"]w@nkers[/EMAIL] over those 2 points, but £110 and she is fab, and apparently "looks better underneath than on top" which is how I like it!

    Don't think I'll ever go back to normal car, 220 coupe here I come!
