I Was discreetly sneaking out of a large private estate I,ve been snooping round for the last 8months when the bank gave way, the guy that owns all the land was very decent about the whole thing and I am now allowed to park on his driveway and have a 1000 acres of pristine English woodland for my cameras to go up in, he even towed my truck into his farmyard when I got it out and let me keep it there for a couple of weeks until I sold it, every cloud and all that, 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not all body-parts are original I've done nearly 100k in it since I bought it at 39k and I think it's a great motor tbh. I want to buy something new and shiny but I can't fault this and I 'know' the motor now so when suspension parts go it's straightforward to fit replacements. If it had another two inch ground clearance it'd make a hell of a difference in the ruts though but the traction control is pretty good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then yeah, maybe do as you say keep it for what it's for and get a clean hatchback for nice. Edited August 20, 2020 by Born Hunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
