i have had the misfortune to have broken my truck (clutch gone) and having nowhere to fix it i took it to my trusty mechanic. unfortunatly i was given the only thing on four wheels he had left...... i hatchback of eastern european ehtnic minority. 
as driving round in this car of enevitable disapointment i tried to think of all the positive things about it.
1) they always do 35mpg.
2) they only come in petrol and petrol is cheeper than diesel.
3) the biting point on the clutch changes daily so they are always interesting to drive.
4)They always start in the coldest of winters, even when everything else has given up.
5) the heaters always work, whether you want them to or not.
6) they get faster as they get older due to all the bits that have rusted away or dropped off!
7) you never need to MOT them, they are so cheep you just throw them away and get another one!
8) no power steering means you keep fit while you sit.
9) no clock on the dash mreans that you CAN come home late with the honest excuse that you didn't know what the time was.
10) the 1.5ltr is quick enough to realy annoy the spotty youth down the road with is hot hatch and booming sound system that cost more than his car.
11) be as messy as you like, it is a skip on wheels after all.
12) they are so awful that anything is nice to drive after that!
13) they are so dam uncomfortable that they make a series landy feel like a rolls royce.
14) thay are more roomy than they first appear as no one will get in the car with you.
as you can see lads, today has not been one of my better days. think i might pop out and find a pole to dance round!
