My list is qite short.

First car was an '88 E reg Fiesta Ghia 1.1 with XR2 pepperpots and spots. Most reliable car I've had only thing replaced was a blown exhaust and a battery. Shame I stacked it into a tree after I had it 3 years. :sad:

Next one was a P reg Peugeot 306 XLDT and had that for 6 months before trying to doggy mount a Renault Clio in it.

My last on was another 306 an S reg DT Meridian that I didn't crash but needed 3 cam belts 3 new water hoses 2 radiators 2 head units and an immobiliser unit. plus some twonk reversed into it accounting for one radiator and a new bumper. Just sold after 3 miserable years

Now I have the 206cc 1.6s and I havent stopped smiling since

You're my hero Rob....that would have taken me about 10 years (witness the 'trouble' me and ni'cc'k had on Sunday!!!)

Matt, anyone can modify a few examples in a book and stick them together. Thats what us IT people do best - COPY STUFF

Ni'cc'k - Rob explained to me via PM it wasn't so much the USE of HTML, but our abuse

CB · Post by CB » Tue Jul 23, 2002 5:49 pm

Don't quote me though! Lyndon - how about a clarification of what we can and can't do please!

HTML is ok when used in a PROPER manner just spamming scrolly smilies, text or other such meaningless posts is NOT ON

not moaning or howt but this is still a CC forum with loads of other fun posts too
