have been a quirky car enthusiast for a while now..... and most recently (last 10yrs) a smart car fan (ducks)

went from a VX220 to a highly modified fortwo to a highly modified BRABUS forfour

a month back someone rear ended my BRABUS and its in the merc repair shop but its taking ages and i've beed driving the inlaws jag x-type 2.5 v6 awd auto and apart from the fact it does 18mpg around town they want it back!

so am going to look at a blue streetka tomorrow to gap the next month (or 2) until the BRABUS is back on the road. 

hoping its gonna be ok as i've already bought a wind deflector and a cream leather interior for it.

Hopefully I won't be walking into a lemon (given its ropey mot failure rate) but hey ho it has 12months on it.

the forfour is a hugely reliable car with so few faults across the owners so i'm a tad worried about jumping back into ford (last was a capri laser 1.6 hahaha)
