My work vivaro, lwb 1.6 diesel, 120bhp does 0-60 in 12 seconds when it’s empty, just a smidge over 2 tonnes. It’s full of ...

I don’t miss the gearknob in this ...

I bought a poverty spec 1.3l ford ka with the black bumpers and everything from my mam for £1500.

Barely distinguishable from a carrera gt
