Ive picked up a few bargains over the years

The best one ever has to be a nissan cherry turbo I bought for £90 - it was a total rust bucket but i kept it going for another year and the engine was indestructable no matter how hard i thrashed it

A close second was an XR4i i bought for £190 and the guy selling thought the engine was knackered coz it was leaking loads of oil - all i did was change the rocker gaskets and it was fine again - I ran that car for a year also before selling it for £500 - it was mint

My worst mistake was an Isuzu Piazza Turbo - I have never seen a car go so rusty so fast - I bought it as a project but never did get it road legal it was just too far gone, Id still love to have a drive of one of those one day
