My biggest problem with that was a complete lack of space. I live in a housing association block, basically a cul-de-sac with a bunch of blocks of flats all round it.

Residential parking is provided - but limited - on a first-come-first-served basis (i.e. if I come home too late at night, I can't get parked, because some bright spark decided it would be fun to have 1/3rd less parking spaces than individual flats :roll:

So I've been rather illegitimately taking up two valuable parking spaces. Neighbours are getting annoyed by it, and it's only a matter of time before the HA come along and tow one of my Peugeots away, and knowing my luck, they'd pick the shiny red one :roll:

Jasper, passing the MOT would have really made my whole year. If I had the money, I'd have got the repairs done (including the bodywork damage) and it would have been a lovely motor for someone. Regrettably, my plan to win the national lottery somewhat fell short of the mark :cry:

Execs didn't get 16ins wheels until the late run models in about mid 2003 when they got the Hoggars.

2 of my 3 sets of Hoggars went for £65-80 so they aren't expensive.
