There's been a few nice looking Corollas on eBay and Marketplace recently so I'm going Toyota.

Mate. I ordered mats online before I set off and they're STILL in the post. It's got my shit itching having a car with 0% mats in.

It actually drives great. It runs straight, brakes straight, rides really well, has no suspension conks, and is generally a fun enough and economic way to scoot about. Once cleaned, the interior is tidy and undamaged. It's a happy little thing and I'm really pleased with it. It needs a few jobs but once done I think it'll be a very good little car. Fiat Pa-cma-nda.

It was all kinds of filth inside so I had a good go at it today with wet cloths and a hoover. The boot was in a similar state of DIRT to the rest of the car. Before *Insert hoovering montage* After Better Best.

I haven't got a rattle gun so I bust out my biggest breaker bar and did some early morning Saturday swearing. Looks better with the trims off anyway.

Well the front two tyres were worn on the edges, which was an mot advisory and the rears weren't holding air so I decided to go completely off-script in Autoshite terms and signed up for FOUR MATCHING BRAND NEW TYRES FROM A MAJOR HIGH STREET CHAIN. It was booked in at 17:00 on a Friday. FORESHADDOWING. I collected it, checked nothing and drove home. When I got most of the way home I thought I'd better stop and check the wheel nuts were actually tight. They were, but I noticed that there was no valves on the tyres. Well, there were valves, but they were trapped behind the wheel trims, which are the type that bold on with the wheel bolts. GR8. The wheel trims were not fitted correctly because they'd put a balance weight where the trim clip has to engage if you want the cut out for the valve to be where the valve is. But it was 1700 o clock on a Friday so theyd just rotated the trims 45 degrees, trapped the valves and rattlegunned the nuts to 19000 newton meters, hi fived each other and gone to the pub. Me: Tyres are good though.
