A picasso is a nice car though, a bit challenging to look at but inside the seats are comfier than most sofas, and theres a very airy feel with the big windscreen.

The bottom 2 are a bit questionable, but I reckon the dark blue one doesn't look too bad. The deeper front & rear bumpers take the curves out of the bottom half to give it less of the egg shape about it.

I think it's a great looking car, and the MK1 facelift like mine has stood the test of time pretty well... I wouldn't have another though :lol:

Now that does just look nasty. Not surprised he didn't paint it. Is the guy stood next to it showing it off as his or laughing at it?

Not being funny mate,

honest opinion here, if your set on changing to adifernt car, now is the time, Car prices at there peak,
best time to trade in or sell,

give it a few month and prices will fall,

was looking for acheap car for my son, just a cheapo, a car thats worth £100 is fetching £6 -£700 its bizzare how much prices have gone up.

seen a vauxhall nova with a price in the screen at first ithought it said £330 but it wasnt £3300 for a Nova :shock:

take advantage of the car price hike whilst you can :wink:
