My partner has this habit of naming my cars..
Its quite funny hiw she takes letters from the reg and somehow finds relevance to a name...
My old 106 - S614NBP - Sebastian
As title suggests guys.
I've wasted so much money in the past, buying - modifying/maintaining - selling (sometimes less than I paid) its beyond thinking about.

I havent got any clicking from a turn of the key.

Had a few cars tbh, none of them really felt that great.
MK4 Astra SRI Turbo
206 GTI 180 (the partner now owns it)
106 GTI (done a few trackdays but ultimately the car was abit of a dog)
Own a E46 BMW 330 aswell as the Clio now :) Hopefully the Clio will see a fair bit of track action next year.
Lol cheers for the comments guys.
Car made me laugh earlier....
Pop to tesco for some shopping, come back out to the car, turn the key...dead... 5 minutes later it randomly starts.
LOL bloody things :) another job for the weekend, earths!!!
So a year and a half since owning it, I have purchased my old 172 back after 2 owners since myself.
I should never have sold it tbh, the amount of money and time I remember spending on it made me feel abit rough after selling it...
Browsing the For sale section I noticed it...done the whole...
