Hi and welcome. I bet its not the WORST car to buy! Anyway with a few modifications I'm sure it'll be a different story. I'm guessing from your sig that it is a 1.1 Saxo?

Welcome. I wouldn't worry about your ride too much, when I was 18 I had a Skoda 130 Estelle.

Changing the clutch is a big job eh? Well at least you have some up close and personals with your car. Thought about any Modifications?
