i went and bought a punto yesterday afternoon, 1.2 2 lady owners from new, x reg (2000) 57k miles from new, hardly used etc etc… tax to june MOT to october. £500. Bargain…
iv done an insurance quote online and its already £400 cheaper than the lupo to insure nevermind the fuel costs etc. Im going to ring my insurance later and get it all swapped across.

im still saving quite a bit a month now on insurance alone and the fuel costs etc will be minimal compared to the lupo. its going to allow me to save for bits much quicker etc. plus, the lupo was a bit too nice to use everyday. i now have a boot!! haha

Put the black carpet in. Again, looks much better. Seems a little thin so I'm going to put some underlay underneath to cushion it a bit and deaden some sound.
And finally I got the engine out the shed and upto the garage. As my engine mount has arrived I'm hoping to mount it some time this week or at least this month got a tin of hammerite too so might give the block a paint up or wait until its out again later in the year.

I'm finding doing little bits at a time quite fun actually. Not setting any targets. Just going with the flow. I am however going to set a target when it's engine time. Want to have all the bits so I can mount it and secure it in a day
