The car - a Mazda MX6

We bought car car in early July 2007. The rules prescribe that the car must cost no more than £100, exclusive of tax and repairs. The car must also be older than an 'M' registration mark.

We found the car in Abbeywood, southeast London. We paid £100 for the car, £40 for the remaining tax and £40 for the radio, with a small fee to our creative accountant. The car came without MOT, and scraped through for £90 in July. We have also purchased a new distributor which cost £130.

The car, a Mazda MX6, drives pretty well - very good acceleration - but tends to pull a bit in lower gears. There is also a rather worrying rattle coming from astern - let's hope she holds.

Soon, the Mazda will be debadged and converted into a rough approximation of an Aston Martin DB9. Sort of. Well, we've got some Aston Martin badges, anyway ...
