Been given a Citroen C1 for the day, while our current crock of crap is in with a list of faults that would take nearly as long to read as 'War and Peace'.

Must say that it's a cracking little 'round town motor, and simplicity in itself with no useless frills to go wrong.
Sounds like a mini V6 with its three cylinders, and it's suprisingly perky too.

Noticed the road tax. ?35 p.a. eeek:

Misunderstood

No, just buy cheap motors and run them into the ground.

Some just run into the ground quicker than anticipated  cry:

The fact that you have used the "word" credtastic just goes to show how lacking in it you are.  noooo: Your poor daughter.  noooo:
