Hi Micra people!
I'm Si from Norwich...(known as Naaaarwich to the locals)...
I had to sell my Vitara a few weeks ago (because it was getting too expensive...£280 a year for tax...gulp)...anyways....I bike pretty much every day I can (Suzuki DRZ400SM) but need a car for those odd days when it's icy or I just can't be bothered getting suited and booted....I went to have a look at this 2001 Micra...it was a weird blue/purple colour (China blue...apparently), had only done 44000 miles, 2 owners and cost £650....to be honest, I wasn't expecting it to be as nice as it is...I thought I'd struggle to fit my 6ft2in self in it...but I'm well impressed...it's built like a tank....you shut the doors and they sound like submarine hatches...it even has some nice alloys on it and I got the steel ones too...
I'll get a photo or two up later....
I'm already thinking of things to do to it...(after an oil/filters/plugs change....it was stood for about 4 months on the old owner's driveway)....induction kit, zorst, tinting....I've already got the GTR badge from a Skyline which is definitely going on......and I think it needs lowering...to make it look less "mumsy"....any advice on where to get decent, comfy but cheap springs would be niiiiiice....Ta!
Oh...and I need one of those horseshoe clips to put the passenger window winder back on...if anyone knows where to get one?
