I had to as I have been doing way too many miles in the scoob. At least now I can keeps the scoob for pure pleasure driving and continue to mod it.

I drove it way too frequently and wasn't enjoying it anymore.

I still love the car and needed to get the buzz back. So I bought a 1995 1.5 litre106. £300 quid, 10 months MOT, 4 months tax, new timing belt. 133K miles. Its a little tatty and not exactly qiuick but mechanically it seems sound.

I already love the scoob more.

 

Ultimate sensible mod I guess

 

I guess it is

 

£300 is cheap for a 106 Diesel, they tend to hold quite good money.

Great run arounds, at about 60 MPG you can't go wrong, that why i've got one

 

good move - i may well be buying an k reg Astra desiel for £200 off a mate. Thatas less than the scoobs induction kit!

 

Its nuts isn't it.
The money I save on petrol will be spent on mods

I saw a dark grey STI blobeye with red calipers by the prison this morning. Anyone from here?

 

i had to do exactly the same and i picked up a cracking bargin, 6months mot and tax and the little thing has only done 60k miles for a grand total of £250. 1.5 Diesel and cant fault it for a small car rather comfy to drive aswel.

 

Its great

 

when I picked up this car the diesel light came on so I put £20 of diesel in it and since done over 315 miles before filling up again.

I am gobsmacked. The gauge must be slighly out; there must have been more diesel in it than it was registering.

 

I get about 200 miles out of £15 in mine.

 

yep put 15 in mine and its still going now 140miles on the tripometer and according to the fuel gauge just under quarter of a tank at least oh the joy i love it

 

I brought a R reg Escort Estate Diesel back in March.. it's done six thousand miles since on 95p a litre.. 400 miles to 40 litres.. it rattles and is rusty, but the stereo works and it's got an MOT until April '08..

It also makes driving my Scoob much more enjoyable..!

 

The next mod on my list 1 iccle pug , dont get me wrong i love the sti but the fuel costs

 

i tell you what mate you cant go wrong, had the 106 for about a month now and i have already made a saving. And when i jump in the scooby its a pleasure to drive

Melon.
