what mileage is on her now? I racked up some miles in her lol. if you dont mind me asking, how much did you get it for? I just sold that back in August I think, replaced it with a cavalier SRi redtop, in white this time. I am glad to see it still has that shine, I polished and waxed it practically every day haha I used dodo juice products mate, its expensive stuff but hey its lived up to its name as its lasted well :D

on the hour every hour, like that :D

wow 172k, sure I sold it around 160 something, had 116k on it when I got it, took those miles on the chin, great car. you will be hard pushed to find one with a better shell mate, i had it all treated underneath as well. when your over here you have to give me a shout, would love to see the cav again. still got the ashley exhaust system on it? dodo juice is the bomb, £32 a pot now, lasts forever tho.

original engine mate, it was totally standard when i got it with average paint work but I soon buffed it up and had it looking pretty much the way it does now, good car. a trip over to PV would be good mate. emm I did have a trip computer in it but I took it out, cant remember why actually lol. anything you want to know about the car just fire away bud
