My new banger car (pic added)
It's 998cc, 4 speed, 2 door "coupe" (if todays naming system is the be believed), it's red, and classic insurance is £130 fully comp!
 (and it's not really a banger, it just needs some work doing to it, and a respray  )

Re: My new banger car (pic added)
I would be insanely jealous if I could actually fit in one of the damn things (too tall)
 My gf will be jealous if she sees the pic though

Re: My new banger car (pic added)
No offence Josh, but why do you keep buying old bangers? Are you doing them up and selling them for a profit?
