Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The plastic aerial has a stud that fits into the bodywork of the roof, to old the aerial in place. This had broken off, causing water to leak through the roof. However, after unscrewing the aerial to reveal the hole, I've filled it with batroom filler then fitted the aerial back! This has done the trick, and the car is now dry dry dry!
What's most practical about your car?
Its cheap - cheap to buy, to insure, to run etc. plus its a half decent size inside
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sunroof - to let the constant smell of wet dog out of the car!
