Picked it up on saturday when the weather decided to crap. Traded in my little red Citroen C1 (powerhouse i know..) for this plus a cash injection.

Looking forward to the dry weather. Sorry the pictures arent great, took them for my dad whos away at the moment.

I love these!

Considered one, but the lure of a chavtastic Mitsubishi Evo proved too strong..

Cheers for the comments, loving having a car with more than 3 cylinders and 69bhp!
It was between this, a Clio 197 or the Corsa VXR Artic edition. Corsa was a bit bling for my liking and I loved the Clio but for the same money, why not have a bigger more powerful car :P

Looking forward to my time on pistonheads hehe

Looks good but I HATE the handbrake in those meganes frown.

Had the C1 as my first car to learn in and basically get to grips with motoring. It was a doddle to drive and had cheap insurance (a mere £480 for a 17 year old male). Im 19 now and I just fancied something with more oomph and this has it in bucket loads. My brother, who has managed to get into the photograph of the front end, had a Subaru Impreza WRX, the one after the bug eye and since that I just wanted a turbo.

Agreed with the handbrake comment but it is growing on me.

Very nice, seats look very comfortable, and i like the unique looks of its arse!

Shame the interior looks a little low rent though, but you dont buy it to look at the interior. Nice choice.

The insurance must be bloody high but I'm sure you'll have fun driving that!

Looks great - I do like those.

I love the seats too - paying homage to the Audi RS2's interior.
