Sure about that? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3524194.htm http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3524924.htm http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3354067.htm I'd rather have any of the above over a CAT D.

50 miles a day? I can handle it for 3 weeks I think, girlfriend is not overly keen on it though. Go on then Ian, find something with 6 month Tax and Test that has nothing wrong with it mechanically for £350. 15 miles from WF16 aswell please (not prepared to travel any further to look at...

My commute on public transport would include a 45 min bus ride, 10 min walk, 30 min train ride and then a 25 min walk and that doesn't include waiting for buses/trains. I think it would cost about £50/£60 a week, so the Matiz has got to be better than that! More like a sewing machine, my...

Going to keep a log of what she costs me during our time together. Car: £350 Text Check: £3 Petrol: £15 (was completely empty and light has not yet come on.) 2 Part warn tyres: £30 fitted and balanced. (2 were illegal). Miles: 98. Total: £398.

Depends what speeds were being done on the motorway, if legal speeds I'd have thought the 6 speed box would have made it more economical than 25-27mpg.

Plans sound good, that colour has really grown on me!

£410 including next day delivery, they are the staggered ones aswell. http://www.autoalloys.com/

hah, can't image they will make coilovers for a Matiz.

Did you go with Ad to the Ring in it? Out of the 172's I've owned that one seemed to feel quicker than the others.

I think it was the "Atoz" that was the Matiz's main competitor from Hyundai, tough choice really!

Why's that? The difference between the BWM and the 182 will pay for a complete re-wire and then all 3 bedrooms/hall/landing/staircase plastered with new ceilings. It's then over to me to me to do the decorating, can't wait! Matiz is awful, it made it from Liversedge to Skipton this morning...

The one I probably should have kept was the silver ph1.

The beast was £350 with 6 months T+T.

The Matiz will only be for 3 weeks aswell as I put a deposit down on BG182 last week. I intended on hiring a car until I found out how expensive that was, so I'm going to see if this will take my 50 mile a day commute for the 3 weeks. It was 350 quid, 6 months T+T and it has done 74k...

Thinking about it, the title might be a little misleading. I certainly wasn't looking for sympathy, just a bit of a joke really. You are right though, got awful car!

No nothing has gone wrong, things are going very well if truth be told. I bought a 3 bed Victorian Semi a year ago and all I have done in that time is decorate the bathroom, so I decided it is time I pulled my finger out. In the next 6 months I'm having a complete re-wire, gut most of the...

I purchased a new car this evening and it certainly is a bit of a step backwards. I've had some decent cars since joining Cliosport in 2008. 2008 Monaco 2009 Ph1 2009 TT 2009 Ph1 2010 Cup 2011 325 2012 Daewoo Matiz She's a 2000 SE 798cc and pulls like a train!

Looks really good, miss my cup.

You could have that looking lovely in a day if you have got all the bits, weather permitting I'm sure you will. I agreed to buy a BG 182 today so it didn't take me long to come back either.

I'd have clear lenses and silvervisions, the depos look far from OEM.

Put them on ebay, 99p start and no reserve. They were straignt but needed a full refurb and they finished at £320 on Sunday, I was happy with that.

I've used various different ones, the last one I used was near Ikea. I think they are called Birstall Tyres, it was £40 to have them taken off the MV2's and then fitted/balanced on the CSL's. There is a very good place off Thornes Lane in Wakefield, next to Wakefield Off Road M/Cycles.

No they didn't come with centre caps or "M" badges. The wheels were £410 delivered and then badges were about £15, there were some cheaper badges on ebay though.

I think I might be on surveillance by Halifax's smack heads fancying getting their hands on my keys and camera!

19's are the ones to go for if you are going to have some lowz but at standard ride height it had to be 18's for me. I suppose another factor was that I have a set of nearly new Bridgstones that were taken off the MV2's.

I think the offset of the fronts could have done with being 5mm less, so they sit further into the arches. Apart from that I am happy with how it looks and I'm not going to do anything else to her. In the last month she's been in the bodyshop twice for little bits doing, new wheels and an...

These are 19's and just look too big IMO.

That is fair enough, I just think on a car that isn't lowered they look too big.

Yeh they are brand new and are from; http://www.autoalloys.com/ I have been very impressed with the quality and I did get them a bit cheaper speaking to the bloke direct. I knew you would prefer the MV2's, but not by "miles". I do know where you are coming from though, I only just prefer the...

hah, one day!
