Yeah it's good to have it back, just know I'll be sad if it's ever dirty

I got to drive it the other day, I forgot how much fun it is to drive. Especially for a slow FWD

I started to miss my SP20 seeing my sister get to drive it every day... So... I bought another one



Needs a bit of love still, it'll be a while before I drive it as I still have to spend some time on my other two cars...

that is just one of those interesting things I've found about these cars... people who grew to love them just couldn't get away from them... they decide at one point in their life that they want to move on and "upgrade" to a nicer car, but they always somehow come back to buying one again because of just the no frills fun it offers

Yeah they're a great little car. Completely different to my liberty which has so much power and grip you can't even start to push it on public roads (well, safely). These things on the other hand are just fun to drive without reaching the limits

Very different colour, Dad's 1.8 is the same colour so I know it can come up nice with a bit of time spent on the paint.

No plans for this one, the liberty still get all the money spent on it :P

Nope, not a single thing or I'll end up with exactly the same car again... I'd rather just buy my silver one back when my sister upgrades

Oh hey Rob! Yeah I know, want to buy my blue liberty?

That's a secret, but as usual, I did quite alright
