Ive always wanted an MV6 manual estate, the auto was to get me through whilst my back was knackered, im hoping after this last op that i will be able to drive a manual again and this ones looks ok from the description.
It will need to be a mini face-lift though, which i think it is.

I got given directions from a yokel referencing woolfardisworthy once.

I have no idea how he pronounced it but it had about 2 syllables, IIRC. Needless to say, I remained lost. ::)

MV6 Seats

Headlight washers.

Its a mini-facelift, retail MV6 was born at mini-facelift.

I *may* be able to view it tommorow, what do you wanna know about it, general condition?

Might be better to ask TheBoy if he can swing buy, he knows far more than me.  :y

I think I'm right in saying that only the mini facelift elites and MV6's had Xenons...and therefore the washer jets...so looks like it is...

Pre mini facelifts you had washer jets but the older style lights...

The X? ohh yes i should off.

Cut a long story short, i went to see her twice during the week, left early from work, so i could view flats with her (she wanted her own place)

I got home at 1:30am 2 nights on the row, Wednesday & Thursday, up again at 6AM.

Gets to Saturday, just driven 50 miles to see her, its 9:30pm at night, just had dinner, i am tired, she said, can you take me to Crawley (around 30 miles away) now? I forgot to hand back a DVD i rented.

It was dark, i was tired, i did not want to drive 60 miles in roads i don't know, i said no not really, she was in a foul mood with me for days afterwards.

Basically anything that did not go her way she was in a foul mood with me for ages, constantly accusing me of not caring.

'dangle berries' to that, i am learning to Snowboard instead!  :y
