Had new rear wheel arches added!
That's Metros for ya!
Nippy round town, doesn't like motorways!
Also my first car!
If your Metro has really done 700,000 miles I'm very surprised! I think you put in an extra nought!
I've just bought a nightfire from a "careful" lady owner and they are a money pit! The parts are so expensive. Cost me £700 in less than a week!
I've had my night-fire since 2004- it's fantastic (although not the most luxurious car).
Sailed through most MOTs with just a new tyre or wiper blade, never broken down, goes well on motorways and good for little country roads as well!
Would highly recommend as a first car, and if you do happened to need parts you can normally get them cheap from the scrap yard (found this out when I snapped my aerial).
