Well, what did you expect? I've had the beigemobile 2 months...
It's coming up for it's MOT soon, and it's gonna need a fair bit of work. I can't really justify spending much on a green 5-door with a beige interior, so I was gonna find a nice HDi, but now I'm pushed for time to save up as the MOT goes at the end of November. Also, I'm now considering a '6 because there are plans to put double yellows on every street around my work, and with me not having a parking place at the office that means the bus. Not a major problem, it stops at the end of my street, it's every 10 minutes and stops a 5 minute walk from the office, plus because my dad works for the bus company I can get a cheap bus pass. Obviously though, if I'm not commuting in the car, fuel economy isn't important and bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarp is
This brings me to my current question. I've been offered a swap for the beigemobile, my mate has a Ford Puma 1.7 with plenty of tax and test that he can't get his kids in, can't help but think it'd be an interesting banger to run while I save for another 306...
,
I've driven a Puma before, I did the discs and pads on my mates lasses 1.7 Puma, and when I test drove it I ended up going 20 miles in it because it was such a laugh to drive, really fun to chuck around and very revvy, with enough power to be interesting but not so much as to make thrashing it on the road impossible
It's got slightly crusty rear arches and bad tracking but otherwise it seems fine, so what do we think? Anyone know what their like on fuel, how reliable they are?
