Seems that the later bigger engine (1100cc??) is a better bet than the earlier 700cc?? version & is in a lower road tax bracket

I think what Vamps is trying to say is buy it and if SWMBO doesn't get on with it, he is in touch enough with his feminine side to buy it for himself for Miss Vamps :y

Sister in Law used to have one (around 2005)

I'm a bit tall for it and had to have the roof down to be comfortable driving but actually quite a giggle to drive! When the turbo cuts in it can break traction though :o :o

Handles well and hers was super reliable :y

There's nothing wrong with that, that a crusher would improve. ::) ::) ::)

Looks like Miss Vamps is destined to become a hairdresser. ::) ::) ::)
