You should check out the not 2k grand group on Face book, some people really do find some gems and some people take some very big brave pills.

Haha I know you're joking, but it would definitely tick the reliable box with an SR20, and it will soon have a new MOT on it as well!

But I can't see OP wanting to drive a car which is two different colours, or wanting to get stuck in with paint thinners to return it to a single colour.

Plus I've been having second thoughts about getting rid... The car I was looking at was a nice 2 owner 100K mile E46 330Ci in lovely condition, full history, clean MOT history, etc... But I have a sneaking suspicion I'd miss the Primera...

I think this is probably a bit of a gray area, but I had momentarily forgotten that rule...

Theres a problem with that too, I've been banned from the MM for a number of years now. My attempts at reconcilliation have been fruitless.

I think if you get 35,000 you get your MM restrictions reversed. Full unrestricted access ha ha

@NVP Found anything yet?

NVP · 14 Nov 2020 at 13:54

Nah I got caught up down an "estate" rabbit hole but haven't found anything which looks in as good a condition as that c5 did haha

Seen anything? I think I may have to figure how to search Facebook for cars.

mondeo 2.0 tdci.
great on fuel and very comfy too.

i am blasting a 58 plate up and down the motorway with no issues.

NVP · 17 Nov 2020 at 10:02

Anyone wanna guess what I bought?

So.... it was over £1k (£2.8k), most likely isnt going to be reliable, but will comfortably do the miles, has good climate control, decent brakes and its been remapped

Fox's suggestion was closest hahaha
