Doesnt handle fantastic but not too bad. Its the standard sized tyres that make it slide about at the moment..

Foook me!!! Thats a blast from the past, they're just not around anymore

I had 3 back in the day, a white E plate SRI 130 Hatch, a blue D plate 1.8 SRI Saloon, and another 130 hatch. They were great cars, me and my mates used to run them because the insurance was cheap in comparrison to say, a 1.6 Orion Ghia. (And they were faster )

My dad also had a white B plate saloon SRI, with the black/grey check Recaro's when it was only about 2 years old... Probably one of the reasons i am a car freak now
Just remember him picking me up from Cubs one night, saying "Your mums having a Tupperware party, house is full of women obsessed with plastic containers, were not going home yet". I was grinning frim ear to ear when he had it flat out on the motorway minutes later

Looks really nice actually!

My dad had a grey one brand new years ago, some b*stards stole it twice and both times crashed it and also bothtimes got chased mid taking the wheels off it, was a shame it was a nice car too but never the same so had to sell it!

Looks quite nice in a understated way. Isn't that for sale at the moment?

My brother's mate had a rusty coloured, orange hatch with the matching ginger interior years and years ago, we thought it rocked.
