All sorts, came to about £300 which isn't a lot to be fair, but it's more than I can afford at the moment and I'm going back to uni in september so I'm gonna pocket the cash.
Steering collumn had play, brake hoses had disintegrated, rear drums weren't doing anything, exhaust had become detached, handbrake cable... few other things. Most of it was things you'd expect to have wear and tear. I drove it to france and back last year and left it in the barn over the summer so it's taken it's toll.
Just going to wait until after uni and probably get an 8v Gti

heres my new car. 2005 Jeep Liberty.
not bad, but the steering wheels on the wrong side.

Arhh you call that a Liberty in the US then, I wondered about that when I saw them in Canada, that model is called the Cherokee in the UK. My next door neighbour has one, it has possibly the worlds noisiest diesel engine in it, shakes the ground when he starts it from cold (at least I thought it was the noisiest I'd heard in a modernish regular road vehicle, but I heard louder from the big diesel pickups in Canada, those 6.4 litre dervs make a hell of a row, they sound like HGV's) ...and the interior is ...very plastic.

My 1986 Vauxhall Nova had better quality interior plastics that the Jeep... I suspect the 3.7L V6 goes someway to making up for it.

used to plastic interiors had a Honda hr-v until last month.
First Car
Right well after looking at several types of car for my first car and many decisions/test drives I ended up with this
Fiat Panda 100HP
Loving the drive so far, not seen another one about since either. Anyhow heres a couple of pics
(Excuse the bad parking I pulled up just to get two quick snaps on my non iPhone)
I'll get some proper pics at some point with my DSLR!

Not a bad first car, I really like the Panda 100HP.

Despite it looking like a Renault Kangoo van, I really like these! 
God knows where women get their logic from, but this, along with a Mini Cooper S is on the shortlist of cars for my gf.

I dont want to like those Panda 100's but for some reason I do think they look cool in a none quirky not trying to hard way, total opposite of the Panda

I do like that Panda... and whilst the interior is a bit meh, at least the seats aren't bright blue/yellow like the normal Panda.
