      @@amyhedley6238 Part of the magic of the channel is that they aren't tied down to a single style. They've got the cave show, urb ex, camping and the odd car special. Big crew doesn't translate well to all of that lot.

      I can top that (ish) picked up a mk2 Megane Grandtour for £400. So far over the last 3 MOTs it's cost me about £130 in vital parts, roughly. Admittedly I've done my own work and servicing but still, that's cheap motoring! Mind you, it needs a headlight bulb as of yesterday 😂

It was riddled with electrical faults that left it in limb mode and dangerous feeling to drive on the motorway due to its self imposed rev limit. The issues couldnt be fixed due to the cars software bein so outdated there was no update available to fix it. Only saving grace was the heated seats 👌

    That Fiat has some nice Whiskey-Dents on it :)
    By the way, if it doesn't start after fueling it, it's likely to be the fuel tank vent valve stuck open. A common problem. (It's an anti-pollution device that vents fuel fumes from the gas tank into the engines air intake. The valve is usually closed until the engine is warm. Fueling causes excess fumes in the tank and an open valve = mixture too rich).

      The original car actually had decent brakes. 8.4" discs with four piston callipers even on 1 litre base cars.
      The Rover Metro had bigger front discs and rear drums and large single piston sliding callipers up front as per the rest of the Rover range of the time and if in good well maintained order actually hauled the light little car up very well.

    My first car a K Reg Mk3 Golf CL. Cost me £695 and ran it for nearly 4 years. Boot didn't lock but other than that solid.
