Leaving in a minute to go collect it. :)

Its blue, 90,000 miles, mechanically very good, drives in a straight line, has rust on three of the four wheelarches, a hole in the drivers seat, has the red master key and best of all cost peanuts to buy and insure.

It will I'm sure be a fine steed to see me through the winter and the day I buy a 3.0 Capri (thats the plan anyway).

Steering wheel is a bit odd though, nice thick rim but kind of soft and spongy :?

Well I've got it home and after a 30 mile scoot down the motorway I can say it drives 100%, nice strong engine etc.

The rust however is about a million times worse than I remember, it needs new panels really but I'm not going to bother as I only need the car to last me till february.

A new experience for me was that the engine chuntered and stuttered for about 5 seconds after I took the key out of the ignition instead of turning off straight away. :?

Still, what can you expect for a car that cost half a weeks wages? :thumbsup:
