We have a modern Italian, but yes something with two seats would be nice. Unfortunately, I can only afford shite at the moment.
If you feel brave and a 2+2 would do, I'm sure we could come to an understanding over my Maserati :lol:

Hah, it's certainly not going anywhere in the foreseeable future unless I get better workshop access.

I quite like those although I think the Pug 205 is a better car.

A guy I worked with had a Turbo and then replaced it with a company 19 16V and reckoned the 5 was a better car. Mind you he did then go and live in Islington so I'm not certain as to his judgement.

I've spent the past 3 days car searching. How hard is it to find a half decent (read working) car that isn't hanging out its arse or look like biological warfare hasn't taken place inside with mot for under 500 quid? The answer is fucking very. I found one yesterday though. It was 65 mile from my house, mot till feb and it seems to drive fine.

Well bought, Bub. I like those, probably one of the last nice cars. Hope it makes up for recent shit.
