Few weeks ago I noticed the windows take forever to demist - after owning many mk1's thats always a well known sign (to me anyway...
2 live! I'm suprised by your lack of compassion for newer clios!
I loved my williams LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED it, but even you have to admit they're getting on now - The thing with the willy was you had to nurture it, I don't mean drive it like a pussy but it was like the crafty kid that used...

Can't complain really - least I have a ph2 dash ;)
