Checked all the fluids today. All good, which means the gearbox leak is just non existant. Which is good times

Wondering what to do with it now, gotta tax it at the end of the month then I want an Imp blue really, but I get so nervous when it comes to selling cars, just can't do it :lol:

Want to get rid of it before it starts lacking in MOT but kinda want to keep it for some shows, but kinda dont, But ahhhh.

So i'll just go with the flow atm, will put it up for P/X on ZSOC see if anyones got the kinda ZS i'm looking for.

Going to uni!

Need a cheaper to fix car, that I can fix myself, thats a little cheaper on insurance etc.

General consus on here is that this Clio will never break on me and the ZS will go horribly wrong haha, but 4 years of uni says i'm going to have some big bills for a Clio, whereas the ZS shouldn't be as bad.

If I was going to uni and wanted a cheap Ford runabout, I'd go for a standard KA and spend the money I save on drugs and bitches.

KA! I wouldn't stoop that low, I have limits.

I don't plan on fucking around with it

Think I learnt my lesson on the last one :lol:

wont have any money too anyway.

But yes, expensive servicing, and if anything were to go wrong, which as with any car it could, it'll cost more. And the list of common problems beats the ZS's by a mile. :lol:
