Bought a new car!

[crofty1984]

Thought I'd follow up on my incessant "What car?" threads.

Rules were:
Must fit in my stupid parking space
Be cheap
Be economical
Be interesting

And the winner is:
White 1996 205 1.7D with gti front bumper and extra foglights. With covers on, rally style!
I'll post a pic when I can, work won't let me get to thumbsnap.
46,000 miles, averages 58mpg (calculated brim-to-brim)
Looks mint throughout. £700. Bargain.
Even comes with exercise windows

Covered 750 miles in it so far and really pleased. Can't believe how well it grips and it does go pretty well for its modest 59bhp. Well, up to 50 at any rate.

"Be interesting"

If a diesel 205 is your definition of interesting I wouldn't want to go to the pub with you.

I bought a car last week after starting a 'What Car?' thread a while back.

So thanks to Grey Ghost for putting the Type R seed of suggestion in my head back in February.

See these threads can actually work.
