Saw a real #HellaFlush Cube this weekend, Vision! :metul:

Sadly no pics as I was on the opposite side of the roundabout to it.

It looked great, if it's a local I'll try and get a pic if I see it again. Nice blue colour, lowered, looked to have 17/18" wheels gun metal / gold rims.

Made me smile anyway.

It's 16 years old and has done 150k so fair enough I guess.

Steering rack, rear spring, air bag sensor, ball joint, tyre below legal limit.

If I had the cash I'd fix it as I love the car. But I don't.

Not even a year. I got it last July. Plus paid £1250 for a new exhaust not even six months ago. :(

Could do, but I'd need to pay the garage to do that, and guess what? No cash. I need to pay £80 to take off my plate too.

Feels like the end of an era. No more lavish spending on cars for me. Cheap and cheerful next. Cheap to buy, cheap on fuel, tax and insurance and cheap to fix. Mondeo-sized. What are my options?

Haha! I will probably never have the money to spend £1200 on fixing a car again. I'm ok with this, but it means getting rid.

When I bought it I was still planning on going back into IT.

Does it have to be Mondeo size?

Would you be better with a little van? Are you still doing the delivery jobs mate?

Vans are too expensive to run. £2-4k a year for insurance.

Try and find an old Honda Accord maybe? The VTECs are unpoppable and on the whole the cars are incredibly reliable.

They can get really tatty though.

I see quite a few 6th generation Accords (98-02) driving around here that are still in really good nick, and they must well cheap as onions now.

Onions are cheap. Whenever I buy onions I think to myself, 'You get loads of onions for not much cash'.

Honda Accord is the way to go and I say that as an authority on cars because I've owned them all.

(FACT - I owned a 6th gen Accord back in the early 2000s. It was a good car.)

Yeah onions are cheap. Humans on the mainland say cheap as chips, not heard your expression before.

Like accords, like most Hondas really. We had a civic for years.

There’s a silver Octavia 14 miles from you on autotrader for £1k.
They will happily do 200k miles.

I don't have a grand. Was looking for something closer to £500 but it appears from my research that is unrealistic.

I may have to live without for a while.

Better! I guess an estate would be useful too. I thought I could put off getting one for a few years yet. ;)
