At least she's served you pretty well mate. No possibility of breaking for parts or would it just be financially more feasible to take it to the scrappy?

Yep, was having this discussion with stuarty last night. Many many miles, yes a few problems along the way BUT *touch wood* fairly bullet/deer proof.
Breaking for parts - more hassle than its worth really. Ill maybe take the front door cards back off and flog them, but every panel has a war wound and the interior is fairly tired. No doubt Stuarty will advise of anything thats been added or was there when I bought it that should be removed though!
The next thing of course is trying to get a new motor sorted. All being good that might just be able to happen. Hopefully, cos I tell you what...I aint half starting to worry about Septembers car situation at the moment!

As Rob said, The Hearse has served you well... used as a workhorse & an everyday car at the same time.
What car you ideally looking for??

Something Italian again.
Problem is, I'm holding out for a couple of things to fall into place. If they don't then I WILL be without a car for a while for the first time since I got my license.
If all goes according to plan..then maybe something newer. Maybe.

Here's hoping then Martyn.
During my window shops, I've seen a few cheap Cinq's and the like. Most of them are way down south though... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3043895.htm ...this one's nearer but I'm not going to comment on the mods... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1997-FIAT...omobiles_UK&hash=item4aad3d5041#ht_500wt_1156
Could always go back to a Bravo or a mk1/2 Punto like you were thinking a while back. Guess as always it just depends on budget and how far you can travel to find the right car.

theres a really tidy sei popped up for sale 30 seconds from my house, mk1 sporting, silver, full years mot 3 months tax but he's asking 750 for it
looks immaculate though so its a fair enough price IMO

Vec now confirmed as being scrapped next Saturday (3rd Sept)
She obviously knows shes going, as I've had one or two random issues with things like the Remote central locking this past week or tow. 188k on the clock so time to part ways!

Vec now off the road earlier than planned due to throwing a wobbly on me earlier.
Rust in peaces, bitch. Though you have served me well, to be fair!

It can move...however it's reliability is in serious doubt. And with a week 'til the planned scrapping, I see no point worrying about a repair.
Nipped home after work before nipping back out to work. Pulling out onto the dualler it started jumping rev wise as the speedo reached the giddy heights of 20mph. Car was juddering like hell, rev counter was pretty much having a fit. Cue engine management light.
So yes, it'll still move, but doing that on the A90 tomorrow just aint an option.

Sucks mate, I know the feeling of a car that's on it's last legs like that. Not good
