After killing my piece of shit 406 on the way back from Scotland last Saturday morning I needed a new car that day otherwise I'd not have been able to get to work the next day. A bit of a hunt online and I found Bash's XD converted ph3, it was out of my price range but nobody with one in my price range was answering the phone. I haggled him down and then left my house immediately for the 5 hour Journey to his which involved a good walk, train, tube, train, bus and a taxi and TBH did me in having already spent 6 hours in the car that day.
Picked her up, drove to Tesco, bought all their cheap veg and topped up the tank with diesel then drove another 2 hours home and had a pizza.
Issues are the rev counter doesn't work, the XUD box is far too short geared and the lack of gov mod kills the fun, it needs wipers and mist jets and rear window switches.
Had a chance today to have her washed and take some photos but as it was snowing my enthusiasm died. It's made me want another 2.1 though.
