I had one of these brand new in 2002 when they came out. It is the only new car I have ever bought with my only money ever. It was only £17k new though with a 5 year 100k warranty. Can't complain at what it offers for.the money.

This one is a 3 owner FSH car with only 71k miles so hard to find original honest low mile low owner cars these days.

Here you go then, how about the long forgotten classic Mk1 Fiat Uno Turbo..
With its low 840kilos,160hp+ with a bit of fiddling it was a giant killer of Its time and still is;)

Don't laugh.....I bought this:


I've always been drawn to these but never had the nerve. Especially when my mates were driving BMW's VW's etc.
Bit of brand snobbery.

I've had two Hyundai in the past a new Pony Pickup in 86 and an Accent MVi new in 97 both were excellent value for money but both had no shortage of warranty visits. The Mvi was bright yellow and was well suited to it, went like stink for a small car and handled brilliantly, even unbelievably for a front wheel drive! The Pony was effectively a reworked Marina, rated at 1/2 ton if you actually put that in it it would pop wheelies!

I had the V6 (lovely engine that) as a daily for 4 years and now have an i40 tourer, both being reliable and decent to drive. I think the brand is very underrated.

A 'Pony pick-up'? Well, that's not a very flattering way to describe the sort of young ladies your automotive vaginal lodestone attracted, Newton.

steady on Crud; I was with Jeanette by then, it was my work vehicle for my first business. Jeanette’s was a Kawasaki ZX10 as she only had a motorcycle licence back then.

Well don't tell her, for goodness' sake! You'll be in a world of bother if she finds out you were still going out on the pull.

More seriously, a ZX10 is a good choice. What year bike?

Aug 1st 88 supplied in red and white livery, but was stolen (twice) and recovered and on the first time they jemmied the tank open so the insurance paid for a respray and we had 'Dreamcoats' do a 'Team Green' Rizzla+ racing paintwork on it for us: Never been done on a ZX-10 before! Took it to the 09 Isle of Mann TT's and got invited into the Team Green pits to show it to the team boss! Sadly when it got nicked the second time it came back rather too bent to be repaired so took the insurance money on it!

Well incoming number 2 and although the red Chimaera 500 isn't up for sale yet I couldn't resist the Rolex Blue replacement. A very special car.

LOL....probably a bit snug for your lengthy frame

I guess take the targa section out though and you have infinite head room!
