ellis Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 She's a babe - no power steering, steering wheel the size of a bus's and as thin as a pipe cleaner, maximum lean and understeer round corners, squeeky brakes (when they bite!), bolt upright seating for maximum awareness, piss poor wipers for minimum visibility - every journey is an adventure!! Mines having its head ripped off, new head gasket, new stem seals, valves reseated and everything else that can be done once the head is off - no more smoking for me finally!!! The turbo seals were fine though! Will miss the Micra when it goes back though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 It seems to be a subtle mix of silver, light blue and muck! It handbrake turns OK though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 nice one lol i drove a GSX variant for a while and it was actually surprisingly nippy although that did have the monstrous 1.2 or 1.3 engine though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_a Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Ah the proper old box job! i used to have an E plate 1.0 Micra that was several different shades of silver. Bombed round in it for six months and sold it for what i paid for it. Sat on the road with "for sale" in the window and it had gone in less than an hour. m.
