Better be thorough when you empty the parts department before handing it over. Cheesy

Already done -it's amazing how much junk you can fit in a hatchback!
I read somewhere once that the most common car for lottery winners to buy is a Ford Fiesta. I guess when you've got plenty of money you don't have to prove anything, so you buy something practical. I'd definitely buy another. Best car I've ever owned. Really nice to drive & went on, almost, forever. Drove it to Scotland & back, Holland & back -all over the place. I'm gonna miss it.  Sad

I loved my Fiesta XR2, not the 2i, but the older Mk1.
The only thing it missed was a fifth gear

Thanks to Mr Dslam, who hooked me up with his neighbour's car, I'm now the proud owner of an 1100cc Fiat Punto. 9 months MOT, 275 quid & only slightly pink. Wallowy suspension, like driving a bouncy castle & flat out at 70mph, but I kinda like it.
Thanks Andy
