Default I thought I'd show my motor off

I thought it would be a good idea to show off my motor, I don't know why but it's my little baby and I love it

Cheers peeps, I was originally using it last year as a run up and down to the train station for my wife and I used the peugeot but it had got broken into twice (would you believe it). And now I use it and the peugeot goes to the station. Because the peugeot is slightly more modern it hasn't been touched presumably. But because of those incidents I had two new front doors and the rear passanger wings(Each side) resprayed and repaired and because it was done on the insurance it only cost me Ł300 excess cool eh. And now it looks alright. (God knows what my insurance premium is going to be like this year)
Where as both doors previously had bits of rust at the bottom where previous owners had scraped the doors on high pavements etc and left untreated, I now have no rust there anymore due to the new doors.
There is a little bit of rust under the rubber sills on the passanger side which I will treat as some point but that's it though. Oh yes a very annoying squeek on the passanger door which I will also tackle with some grease or WD40. But all in all not bad for an M reg with 90000 miles on the clock.
When I can I'll get some more pics up shortly

High matey, unfortunately the RS isn't green but is actually Ash Black(which is nice aswell, ain't going to grumble about that) I think you can blame my 2megapixel phone camera for that as the green was quite dark on the RS if I remember rightly and I liked that shade of colour alot aswell. I remember my dad bringing one home in the early nineties (company runaround) and that was a dark green. The women who sold me this car advertised it as dark grey in the auto-trader he he.

Cheers matey, yes very pleased with it. The interior isn't bad either. It is a ten year old motor so you do get some usual faults with it like stone chips on the bonnet, which is normally to be expected but I've been a bit lucky as there hasn't been any rust to emerged from them.
