Hi there, I'm the new guy selling the Sunny Coupe. Just found this forum a couple of days ago - its great. Now that I know how to put photos up I thought I'd stick up a summary of my last 3 years of motors: My 'good' cars started off with a 2003 Mitsubishi L200 - cracked block. 2003 Nissan Xtrail - dull. 2004 Mitsubishi L200 - big end failure an £3k engine change. Given up on 'good' cars now! When my first L200 broke I started buying 'sh*t' cars. Since 2007: 93 Vauxhall Astra 92 Sunny Coupe (34k when I got it - the one I'm selling now!) 89 Volvo 740GLE Est (217k miles!) 98 Fiesta Courier Kombi van (for dogs) 91 Vauxhall Carlton CDi 93 Seat Toledo 2.0 GLXi 91 Fiesta Ghia Auto (60k) 88 Mitsubish Shogun LWB 98 LDV Pilot Minibus (for dogs) 99 Renault Megane 1.4 98 Renault Megane 1.4 Currently running the two Meganes and the two vans. Cheers Alan

Welcome to the site Alan, very varied selection of cars you've got/had there! My mrs used to have a 2 litre Toledo, it was a great car, useful for carrying furniture around because of it's massive boot. The car I mean, not the Mrs.

The Toledo I got for towing my folding caravan (pics to follow . When I phoned the guy to go see it (seat?) he told me it was a 1.8 manual. Turned out to be a 2.0 Auto. Surprisingly quick in a straight line but scary at the front in the wet if you were pushing it! Worst understeer I've ever seen!

That Shogun was great. 2.5 TD Auto. Unfortunately the chassis was rotted to hell at the back, I was gutted. Sold it to a guy who uses it on private land when coursing his dogs.

The Sunny might be going today. Keeping my fingers crossed. The Courier is the best £250 I ever spent! Done 20k miles with it and only need an exhaust and a couple of tyres (from the scrappy!). Makes me feel like Postman Pat!

Only had up to 5 at a time! Think they'd complain after that!
Now down to 3. The Sunny is going this weekend (to dtuning), and sold the £250 van today!
The van needs a new screen and is starting to chirp a bit! Got £320 for it - well pleased but gutted at the same time. Got quite attached to it!
The Volvo was great - 2.3 Manual with skinny tyres. Drift-tastic! Had 215k on the clock when I got it - £155.17 with 6 months MOT. Sold it with a weeks MOT left for £156!
