That's just proven my point. What's the bets that poor thing was in to have a rattle on the dashboard looked at.

It's taken us 3 weeks to get that bugger transfered

I was going to bin it, but Kathryn is quite attached to it so we decided to keep it. Seeing it on the car now, I do like it

She says it stands for K (Kathryn) CTR (Cutter)

I used to hate those but the looks seem to be growing on me like the way the Jag S Type did.

Liking the interior too.

Definitely more funky than a Golf and sooo much cooler than an A3...

Dave, you're welcome also for the assistance! It's a nice car, I haven't driven too many Ones but I fancy a go in the three-door 130i M Sport, I bet that's a bit of a weapon...

I have the 116i as my beater. I like it but it puts me to sleep when ever I drive it. So slow and slugish makes a good beater except for the parts where I imagine I'm in my S and I nearly fly out of the seat when I corner to fast hehehe.

I'm replacing it with a Ford Focus or a Freelander though in the next few months.

Good car though enjoy it
