In 2000 I decided I fancied moving up from cheap motoring ( the last sapph having cost a couple of hundred..) I decided to go looking. So me and my brother in law scoured every second hand dealership for 50 miles.. I most liked a 2.0 20V Volvo 850 Saloon but it was a bit steep for my budget.<\/p>\n
The only other thing that caught my eye was a 92 J plate Carlton CDi. It was in burgundy with velour grey upholstery and was in very straight condition.<\/p>\n
To be honest, I felt gr8. It was an executive saloon and I was driving it at 26..<\/p>\n
The 2.0 8v was a bit underpowered but I realy liked the car. then she started loosing water. I tried some stopleak but that did not help. A head gasketechange did not seem to work as the head did not torque down. I was dis hartend and ready for a change.<\/p>\n
Sadly she went to auction and made pittance..<\/p>\n
I did see her on the road again though which gave me a smile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
