I noticed lex was for sale again with added go faster stickers, It seems no one keeps them very long at all.
Yes

To be honest If I could of kept Lexy I would of I only sold her to fund Shitey Wobstang II ®

Lexy was a good car problem is a lot of the time they are bought by those who think they can drive them daily for the same cost as a Kia Picanto!

Once the fuel bills come in they bail :roll:

Cheap entry to Bucket List Car is an SN95 so they go through many many hands

I dont think of the price of fuel,well i did when my carb was not tuned and returning 7mpg :shock:

Its now in teenage figures so all is good :mrgreen:
