Looks lovely! Was it £250? What happened to the Mini?

[Dobloseven]

Had to check, it's a 100hp isn't it .Any Panda is a great little car though .Enjoy!

Bit more than £250 sadly . But pretty cheap for one of these these days .

Missis wanted either a panda or some kind of hotish hatch so why not combine the two . Can’t see any rust on it anywhere and mot history is rust free I think so fingers crossed. Usual panda suspension clunks etc . Needs two tyres and timing belt . Luckily I know a guy .

 

She got bored of the mini sadly . So I put a clutch and gear linkage repair on it and sold it to a customer of mine . Think she’s moved away now tho .

Warm happy place , warm happy place .

Id forgotten about these when the mrs needed a run about. Actually thats a lie I just bought the first thing I saw cheap and spent the change on motorcycles. 

Would fancy a go one day. Hope it pans out well for you. 

[twosmoke300]

Cheap chance to try one really . It’s not perfect but nor will the ones at twice the price be either . 
Any of you previous 100hp sufferers recommend tyres ? It’s got 195/50/15 on now which is meant to help the ride over the std 45 profiles . Demon tweaks have toyo tr1 on offer for 40 odd quid at the mo .

Mine was such a fine example it had Fiat 500 steel wheels and £35 chinese happy joy road tyres so I can't really comment.

Mrs Twosmoke is an awful erratic driver so I’d prefer better tyres on it for the inevitable lock ups 😂

Great buy. My wife has a 1.2 panda auto and honestly we can't fault it.

I don’t let cars hurt my wallet too much 😂

Just be careful over speed bumps, an acquaintance has just done damage to the manicat on an identical blue one. 

I don't think these are going to go down in value, so a good time to try.

Interested to hear your thoughts on these. I never really liked mine and the quality was pretty poor on it.

The swift sport before I had was 1000 times better.

This was sold today . 
Mrs Twosmoke300 is looking to become a scum landlady so a more practical vehicle is required for house renovations etc . 
Gone to an enthusiast from the 100hp group . 
The reality , as said on here previously , is that the normal panda is a better bet . The 100hp is a bit more needy and lots of bits are specific to that model so therefore expensive and harder to obtain . 
But it’s scratched an itch.
