Driving it
What's it like to drive?
0-60/100km 15secs Top end-80/90mph Surprisingly not that bad. It can be a bit bumpy on a few potholed roads. If you are built like lurch from the addams family you got no chance of getting in it. Power is moderate but it aint no civic type r thats for certain. I would not like to be in a smash in it as it has no safety extras at all. The perfect trolley dolley and definately no power machine. Seems to go for miles on a fiver. Sadly these are not worth a carrot nowadays and if you pay more than £300 for one your an idiot...lol
What's it like to park?
The most redeeming feature so far. Its good.

It was very very cheap to run
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It comes with a dash pedals and a steering wheel and 0 accessories.
