I've had to say a sad farewell to my 2.0SXi, simply because I could no longer afford to run it.

It still had tax, granted only until the end of this month but it was MOTed until November so it still had plenty of miles left in her.
Another thing that stopped me from getting it back on the road was this......

Some little 5h1t who lives beside me decided that he was going to do a bit of artwork on the screen with a chuck of a house brick and ended up with this masterpiece.
Ho hum as they say, not to worry I had her for nearly 9 years and I enjoyed every single mile I traveled in her and she never let me down, apart from the slight problem with the hydraulic pipes a while back but apart from that, I couldn't fault her at all.
Cheers for all of your help when I needed it while I was the fortunate guardian of a truly excellent car.
Shaun.
