tbh you don't have the balance like you have with the 106 sadly, you can destroy these as a road car, but make them a bob on track car, so its either one way or the other. Mine is on the border line of been a bit harsh for the roads sadly.
But they are very, very fun little motors, if you like the proper mini then you will like these, as they are exactly the same. ( go kart feeling)

They are not really a million miles away from the 106 really, in fact they share a few things, gearboxs and diesel engines.  If I can get the chance to get to a 306cc meet, and the lads let me take the metro down, and you are there, I will take you out for a quick spin.
The reason I like them, as I had one as 1st car, but I found that you get the piss took out of you sadly. ( people would sit off the arse end or just pull out in front of you.  People under estimated these like hell, but now that's starting to change.
Also with me wanting to rebuild a car and go sleeper, at the time. I found the metro was the cheapest at the time and ideal too!

Hopefully will be putting a 16v lump in the 106 at some point so would be nice to have more power Smile
