"Unreliable, cheap and fun car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The camshaft had to be replaced at 180.000km.

Gearbox replaced at 200.000km.

Seats are badly worn.

Front wheel bearings are worn.

Front brake discs are worn.

Bearing for the steering axle is worn.

Slip-clutch on the cooling fan behind the radiator has stuck.

Eats front tires.

General comments?

The car is quite quick for its age and size, and handles quite well. It's rear wheel driven, and as such is very predictable and forgiving if you push it past its limits.

However, not the most reliable car I've had, it doesn't run well when cold, and has a habit of stopping from time to time, probably just a minor problem, but annoying anyway...
