Saw a real #HellaFlush Cube this weekend, Vision!
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. |

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? |

Does it have to be Mondeo size? Would you be better with a little van? Are you still doing the delivery jobs mate? |

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

Friend of a friend is buying it for £460, so that's something at least. |

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. |
