Sorry to dig up an old (ish) thread but I came across it while searching :wink:
We have just sold r lasses Peugeot 106. This has been driven to the limit EVERYTIME I took it out and the only things replaced are the radiator and battery in 5 years (and the oil of course every 7k ish :wink: ) and we had a drive shaft go at one point :shock:
It just keeps going and going but due to a change in 'wanting' we have let it go which brings a tear to our eyes :cry:
While the Pug was getting the drive shaft repaired we bought a XR2i from the motor auctions for £80 :shock:  I ended up thrashing this for about 12 months (and when I say thrashing I mean THRASHING :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted: ) but the thing kept on running like a dream and NEVEr let us down. I remember it well haha. The paint work was pink and VERY faded. The laquer was non existent to about 80% of the thing and the interior looked like it had been met by Freddy Kruger but hell was it one hell of a fun car to drive :twisted:
We sold it on fleabay after 12 months as drive space was getting limited but we managed to pull £300 for it somehow :shock:
I wish we had kept the little thing :P
We had a call from the police 6 weeks after selling it :shock:
Looks like the chavvy git who bought it didn't send the log book off like he was supposed to and it had been involved in a chase :lol:
Luckily we had a reciept for the sale signed my both the buyer and I and the prat had used genuine details on it :(biglaugh):

Now I will also point out here that I 'can' be a forum whore at times and I LOVE emoticons  :(biglove):

*runs for cover*

Dr Evil:
Had a Triumph Acclaim, the one with the Honda engine. My Mum & Dad bought it new in 1983 and gave it to me in 1994 with 75k on the clock, after only buying one set of tyres and a battery. I had it for 3 years, putting another 40k on it and never spending a penny, never changed the oil, never topped up the water, never had to. Only got rid when it failed the MoT, and then sold it to the milkman for £75.

smurf:
Old Ford Sierra Estate.

I think it was a 'C' reg, got nailed, I mean really thrashed to Wales & back every weekend to feed mine a few mates beer habits! (we were only late teens, early twenties).

I think it was a 1.6, & very reguarly I got people saying "its gonna blow" as the revs screamed.... Even took it off road  :shock:  Yep,were driving down a lane & for a laugh took it across a grass field, heads banging off the roof lining, sides splitting with laughter, car 'see sawing' over the bumps.

Bought for £200 & sold for £50 about a year later.

Also a 'D' reg Capri Laser, only problem was a sticking auto choke.  Quick bang with a hammer each morning sorted that.

The good old days.

redhand:
95 Mondeo TD estate. ran it for 4 years used it as a builders van all the time I had it. towed a trailer with 3 tonnes of slate chippings in it. never changed oil once did 70k miles in it and was still running fine when I got rid.  Needed 2 new headlamps front wishbone, brakelines, etc etc. got rid at xmas.
