My Fiesta van, which cost me a whopping £40!

165,000 miles and still going strong! Uses next to no oil, 70 mpg no probs, cost me a few hours of welding to get the sills sorted and thats about it!

I've had it for 2 years (was only supposed to be for a winter runabout!), so it's now on my fiance's nerves....!!



I go to work in my cheap mountain bike from Argos! No stress for me!

Recon I save about £1K a year on fuel alone
