Yeah, less said about R32 the better!

Purely from my selfish point of view, but she's right, I've got my mk2, and I'd only do something stupid to an R like charge it

Saab 9-3 1.8t vector sport.  :cool: I've banged on about this before, but I absolutely loved that car when I had it. Not the cheapest to run, but the 1.9 tid is reasonable if you want economy, and you wont have to add much more to your budget for one.

Knock the PT Cruiser in the head.My sister had one for a year and she was always bringing it round with electrical gremlins.The economy was pants even with the cdi engine.
She decided to never buy another Chrysler that was built for the uk market!She now drives a 300c :undecided: although to be fair its a nice motor :grin:

My missus wanted a Beetle and they are pretty cheap atm,the only reason i didnt get one for her is because i will have to drive it every now and again so i decided to tell her they were unreliable and bits fell off them all the time :lipsrsealed: :grin:
