Value
A car in its own. High specification for the early twenties is just amazing.

Will be soon trading in for something a bit more economical. The MPG is a major let down - and don't start me on the oil...!

No issues here either. Although have to be careful if it doesn't start first time. Need to keep clutch depressed when cranking.
