clayts450 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I learned to drive in a Metro, and I owned a 100 many moons ago - can't actually remember the reason I let it go, or what flavour it was. But yes, deffo the feel of an underdog, as referred to in the article, and I liked driving them. I had hoped secretly to have the full house of a 100, 200, 400, 600 and 800 when the 820 came onto the fleet, but it never worked out right, and now the 820 has left the building, it's unlikely I'll ever manage this feat.

Yes, I've been using the primer for ages as its cheap on ebay for 2 cans (cheaper than at the Range) but I've never tried their paint, so that's good to hear!

cort1977 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Is that a requirement now? Otherwise isn't it just a rag to the bull that is the average British driver? Congratulations on the pass by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
