For me it's 'a' and of course 'b'

Cabrio has been garaged since the end of September and won't be out to play again until April 2004

I enjoy mine too much to make it just a summer day car, so it is my dailt driver, but it is pretty well looked after so I am going for option B

Well mine is used quite irregularly so no new problems have arisen, take it out for occasional blat in the dry.

I know whats wrong with it but have not got the space to list it all here.

touch formica, every breakdown I've ever had in 20 years of motoring I've managed to bodge by the roadside. this bodge then remains in place until the next one

Mine will be used through the winter months, don't anticipate any problems (except some traction issues

).
Thats the good thing about mk1's, no costly electronics to go wrong and when they do break down (if ever

) it is usualy something that anyone with basic skills can repair. Not like some newer (and slower?

) cars where you need a costly scan tool to tell you that a very expensive main stealer only part 'may' fix it.
