Ogri, that's the sort of thing I'm after.
The car that has just given up the ghost, an 03 plate Honda Jazz (has just had 3 months of everything going wrong, clutch, back box, failed MOT on faulty lambda sensor) It's now, as of this weekend developed a bad misfire, engine light flashing (means stop don't drive the car) and I know it also needs 2 rear tyres. It has a slight oil leak that I've been managing for 6 months too. BUT I paid £700 for it 3 years ago, bought it from a friend's sister and it's given me 3 years of good motoring, not bad for £700 :-)
As things stand, with 2 young girls taking all our funds, as well as everyday life there isn't really any spare to take out a loan significant enough to get a "decent" car. And if a foccer says to me a car is good then I believe them (like buying off a mate).
Where abouts are you Ogri?

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!
