I would never have bought that as it's auto.

A few reasons really.

I no longer need anymore parts, I have enough for the next few decades.

I'm no longer buying cars I don't like.

I've also been busy sorting my yard out to get a garage built.

Here's a pic of every 800 I've owned so far. October 2008 . This is where it began back in October 2000. Long story short I was after a 416 and the insurance was cheaper on a MK1 820 and cheaper still on a MK2 820. I spent a fortune on it then gave it my mum after buying the next one. 92 820 Si Auto...

Afternoon all.

I'm Chris and I'm an 800aholic. I'm 27 and I've been driving 800s since I was 19. It's my old mans fault, he's had them for years.

I've only got 4 at the minute but I've owned nearly 50 over the last few years.

My brother used to a have an early MK3 Metro GTa. He loved it for all the reasons you've said Paul.

He went after a GTi version but we couldn't find one that wasn't very badly rusted. They are cheap but you need to be careful I think.
