Matt Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Not sure if shite or modern. Probably shit. Arguably SMOL. Long Exposure Swift 2 by MattLikesCars, on Flickr Bought it as a stop-gap until I found something more interesting. That was three and a half years ago... Averages over 50 MPG and basically refuses to break thus I can find little reason to replace it. Absolutely nobody cares about these in the UK but they have enough of a following in the US of A to have their own forum.

dollywobbler Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I remember your Mini DW! Didn't you have a stack load of restored work done on it?Yup. Spent a fortune on it. Then we moved to Wales, and rust started moving in again. So we sold it. Sharpish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

155V6 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 The two I've got on the road at the moment.The Rover was bought from ebay for £50,it was sold as spares or repair due to possible overheating problems.The coolant was bubbling up due to the cap not sealing properly,fitted a new cap & it's been fine since January.It came with 6 months MOT,there's still a month left.It was going to be broken for parts for my MG Express,but was too good to break so I bought another one for parts instead.The Volvo gets used mainly at weekends,or when I feel like more than 84 bhp Zantimisfit, oldcars and FakeConcern 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hooli Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'm not sure I can call this shite either, it should have been at the price but it's a bloody nice car to drive & apart from two small leaks everything works pretty much as it should.

59Impala Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 My every other day vehicular hack for the last six years, a 2000 Primera 1.8 Sport. Think I paid £550 for it, been quite faithful as was its predecessor a 1992 Primera. But then it is a Nissan. I should really buy them up and stockpile them so I can have them for my remaining years.
