As someone recognized the car in my avatar, I felt I should explain my story

It all started in the early summer of 2004.

Every year as part of the kingston uni karting club we compete in the le-mans 24hour kart race. In 2004 the week before we were due to go, one car was written off, 1 car blew a gearbox. In need of transport one guy stole his sisters cento and we found a local number plate company selling off a 900cc cento for next to nothing with 160k on the clock, without MOT, or tax. passed MOT first time and we taxed it and because it cost us £130 all in, we abusing this poor little car.

The car was a car of legend. It went all the way to lemans and back and didnt miss a beat despite pure abuse, we added some colour for pure comical value, crashed it into ditches general abuse. and when we cam back gave it away to a young family with no car.

Now in need of something that doesnt cost me £70 a week in fuel on my commute and fun, I bought another cento, and and now starting to mod it (no recent pics)

anyway pics say a 1000 words

when we got back from lemans we gave it to a young couple who couldnt afford a car and were expecting a baby. We all have other cars so it was ours for only 2 weeks (but what a 2 weeks).

Nice end to a story, hope it still going
