My first car was a Lada Riva 1200. Had it six months before it exploded on the M61. Got a fiver for it, scrap. He only wanted to give me £3 but I told him it had a brand new battery in it so he went up to £5. I ripped him off though, because I lied about the battery. It was a dud.
My 1st car was a Corsa worst thing i had ever drove until i borrowed my sisters cardboard box on wheels! i now drive a Focus Zetec. Highly reccomended if your thinking of a new car
