Built like a Tank

Those Cacti remind me of the Rover (25?) Streetwise my brother in not-law picked up cheap.
A blatant attempt to clear old stock by making it ‘appeal to a younger market’ with the addition of some ‘lifestyle’ bling.
It was much better without it.
Ali G impression anyone? We used to greet him with it whenever we saw it.

what was wrong with the first one to mean it needed replacing?

 

Nothing. I’d had it nearly 3 years.

 

I did go for a higher spec

 

I'm 60. The newest car I've ever owned was 6 years old and I only bought that for work. If I was in the market for another car I'd be back to my normal £500-1,000 bracket.

 

Loved my little Clio I ran for a few years while restoring the van. The track to the workshop destroyed the suspension pretty quickly though. £300 “Gumtree Special” edition.

My eldest and partner had a little Nissan they bought for £180, ran for 8 years and sold for £200. Good lad.
