Yes but when was the last time you needed to replace an exhaust? It's got to be 20 years since I've had to buy a replacement exhaust for a car.
First Car, Worst Car, Best Car.
Yeah your right, but I remember the smell when you had, that really hot metal smell loved it
Though have bought either middle or end section after mot, think it was on the MG around 3-4 years ago, there’s a fair bit of water that comes out the drain hole of the Puma ST rear box if you park on slight gradient, so might be a candidate in a few years

Well someone at work needed a new box on their 2016 Peugeot 308, and it wasn't £20, or even an inflation adjusted £50...
Point is the Fiesta exhaust was £20 in the early 90s to replace, right from the manifold back. No cat, no sensors, barely a box.

First - Fiat 500L with a sunroof - 45 mph!
Worst - Austin Montego Turbo - Very very fast but too many stupid mechanical issues.
Best - Renault 5 Turbo - fast but not a family car.

I love the headlights on the Orion, borderline legal? I’d probably have them on the Puma if it was possible , late 80’s definitely my favourite era for carsRon240 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2023 2:41 pm My car driving history began in 1984, but for the purpose of this list I will confine my answers to cars bought exclusively by and registered to myself.

They were plastic covers designed to fit over the headlights. Not sure about legality, but definitely not intended for night use.
I had them on for 2 or 3 years and never had any problems.
