Bangers and crash
‘I spent £300 on a “get me over the Christmas period” car’, Tony Bradfield writes from Tesco. What does £300 get you? Let him explain.
‘A diesel L reg Rover 218 from a friend... it has been leaking power steering fluid for months, has a slow puncture and smokes like a trouper. One of the windows will not wind down, but it does have an electric sun roof. It only has about 103k on the clock and I reckon I could push it to at least double that. I never have trouble filtering in when the person beside me realises that their car is worth far more than mine.’ A sound investment indeed.
This week’s sad car is at least larger than the Perodua Nippa we featured. ‘Why did Jim Bassett buy a car that was obviously too tiny to fit his 6ft 4in, 17-stone frame?’ asks Jonathan McColl. Just one of many questions that this thread raises. More of your sad cars please.
