I had a yellow GT3. Worst car I ever owned 🤫 it was quite fun when it worked properly, which was about 12% of the time. Think I only lasted 6 months before f**king it off!
First: Honda CRX
Current: Astra VXR (I do have a Mini Cooper S too, but bought the Astra more recently)
Most missed: Renault 5 GT Turbo (seem quite popular in this thread!)
I have everything I need for after the 'wash' stage but usually I just blast it with the jetwash first before starting anything else - Therefore I'm looking to replace that stage. I'm talking about things like 2 bucket method? Grit catchers? Something better than a £1 sponge?
Don't want to...
So my car is completely filthy. Doesn't look like I'll be getting out to the local jetwash any time soon... I do have a home one at my mums, but as she's over 70 I'm not entering her house. I don't really have any alternatives other than going old skool and attacking it with a bucket and sponge...
I believe they're at least freezing monthly payments for a bit aren't they? That would wind me up even more, at least mine's bought and that's that. Although saying that, I'm losing tax money as the DVLA won't let me SORN it until I receive the new V5 🙄
I bought a new car at the worst possible time... week before the lockdown. I can't drive it until I sell my current car, but don't see any point in putting it up for sale now, so it's just got to sit on the drive for 6 months or whatever. Also annoying as the garage put 12 months MOT on it...
Saw the new Puma today, actually looks slightly better in the flesh I must say. Plus grey worked better for it than the blue I've seen online. Front pretty gash, but I could live with the rest.
Been keeping an eye on these for years now! As I test drove one a long time ago, but couldn't get it for the price I wanted... it's on my list of possible upgrades this year but the prices have definitely been creeping up over the past 12-18 months. Was loads of 2006/2007 ones around £3,500 and...
Well luckily I've been the other way round with my Mini as loads of people warned me how unreliable they are, but mine's been absolutely spot on for years! Cost me £40 in repairs since I bought it...
All my old photos are on Photobucket and it won't let me sign in at the moment! So some images taken from Google Photos...
2010: Punto GT3, worst car I've ever owned! Quite fun when it worked, which was about 10% of the time.
2011: Renault 5 GT Turbo, dream car for me as I'd wanted one for...
Most of these are out of your price range but might have some general tips to read up on...

If you can stretch another £30 this looks pretty good...
