This is my work car. Owned it for about a year when my Grandad passed away in May 2008. Although its slow and looks like a jelly mould, its a very clean and tidy car and he loved it. Might look like a Micra to us but in the world of OAP's this beast has some real pulling power.

It's very reliable and i do about 500 miles a week in it with regular oil/filter changes and its now at 57,000 miles. It's a 2001 Nissan Micra Activ 1.0 with air con, c/l, e/w, reverse park sensors, electric adjustable headlights and with most of my driving being on the motorway i can get about 50mpg out of it. Its cheap to insure & tax and just gave it a wash and thought i'd post up some pics.

He was an original east end cockney and it was his 1st anniversary of his death last month so i dedicate this post to him

 

Good little run about

 

nice chariot!

 

cant knock it,does the job in quite a bit of comfort,am sure he would be pleased to know you use it to the best of its abilities,respect to you

 

Thanks

it's a 1.0 16v with 59bhp, Brakes well but doesn't handle very well, soft suspension and skinny wheels.
Had the aircon serviced and I've put Bosch wiper blades and Philips BlueVision headlight bulbs in and it makes all the difference driving in the rain and at night.

Its also got clear side repeaters (one cracked and was cheaper to replace with clears off ebay then originals + looks loads better)

 

its certanly a tidy one :thumb:

the ones Round Birmingham i think come with scuffed bumpers as standard

And i take it thats you with your grandad? Nice threads mate

 

I swear it was in fashion once upon a time

 

Gave it a good service today as its just over 61,000 now. Important that it keep it in good condition as i clocked up nearly 30,000 in the year i've had it and its used as a work car.
