OK guys, I've been looking at possible cars to replace the Fabia with, which cost under

Not bad, work mate of mine runs a very tidy Saab 9000 CSE Turbo, 250bhp and every toy under the sun.

Picked up for a more than reasonable

Not bad at all. Mates just bought a 220 GSI non turbo.

So when you getting your flat cap.

Good choice i had a 820 Vitesse turbo, over 200bhp and came with every extra you could think of.

I even changed the 16" wheels to the sports 17" ones:D

As it was a J plate i removed the cat and this allowed you to rev the nuts off it:P

looking forward to getting my carlton actually

with that rover just look for rust really and budget for lots of front tyres

Good stealth car - a guy I know had one to replace his Mondeo. Rover had a few engine/gearbox problems and then he wrote it off coming back from the garage after paying a tidy sum to get it fixed Info here about servicing, if you're interested....

and oil. T series are know for a slight oil leak I believe.

Opinions?

IIRC that's a Honda engine in there, so should stand up to your driving style pretty well... :P

Rob.

And fuel... hello 25mpg day to day :thumbdwn:

and if you thought brakes on the furby were bad

So when you getting your flat cap.

Never, flat caps are so chav....

One of the forum members here had one I believe before getting his skoda.

25 mpg eh? Well, I've been reading they will do 35 MPG on a run... and day to day I was only getting about 35 from the Fabia vRS anyway, and considering this thing is like 3 payments of a Fabia vRS, I dont think I'll be that out of pocket

and if you thought brakes on the furby were bad

I never did though... was I not one of the people who defended them?

So when you getting your flat cap.

was it just me that read that as cat flap? :confused:
