no mate, i would always be chasing you now lol, i'm just sick of spending money on cars at the minute

lol well that's a compliment! I know what you mean about the money though mate, there are times when I feel quite sick about how much I have spent, that's when it stops for a while until the bug bites again. Give yourself some time Frank, walk away from it for a while... it helps me re-focus without rushing and be ready with all guns blazing in 2014 :)

Nope, most cheap cars now seem to be a bit poo, with owners describing them as excellent condition when they obviously aren't.

Not seen any st200 autos. The 2003 on, mondeos are surprisingly nice cars inside when they are kitted out, not keen on the engines though, espececially the 2.5 v6.


Mazda 6 mps???

looking for something cheap cheap, about £1500.
