Well....no phone call, so it looks like we're keeping the little turd for the weekend 

Presumably SE stand for special equipment. Imagine what the 'poverty spec' version would be like and count your blessings.

The special equipment is a heater and a radio.

Have I been taken back to 1965.

Just took it on the dual carriageway and let the 73 horses loose. It was at 55 before I knew it.

I think my viva had an SE badge
56bhp from the 4 cyl pushrod engine,  front disk brakes, heater and front seat belts. It might even have had a rear screen heater. Never did work out whet counted as 'special equipment'. Can't remember if it had a radio

Interesting, I always thought it was French and stood for 'Sans Equipment'.

I've posted on here before, I absolutely loved the Viva MrsGK brought home from work once. Revvy, light, characterful.

Couldn't pull a sailor off your sister but it felt fun! Small enough to thrash down a B road too.

But then I am not normal.

I'm getting used to hearing the little engine scream now, and you're right! I wouldn't like to try a motorway run but, around town, it's a fun little thing. I actually smiled taking a bend in fourth gear, it just gripped and whizzed round it.

Look on the bright side. It may be glacially slow but it least it doesn't have an engine that is killing the planet (and black babies)

But you are old and won't be around much longer. What about young people like me.

If I won't be around, why should I care about anyone else?

Anyhow......just had a call from Vx, the dirty diesel is ready to be collected. I've just put £10 in the viva, so I'll have to go via Chesterfield to use it up.

Crooked spire.

I can have my estate back off wifey tomorrow, thank f**k for that. My dog didn't like being on the back seat of the viva (in her crate), the noise of the engine was quite scary at 5000 revs

Bear in mind I make a living from tearing about in, generally knackered, diesel things... And on a weekend, I drive anything from the FTO to the vRS to a 190E... I still love thrashing a titchy little hatchback.  The feeling and sound of revving it, knowing I'm barely going to tickle a speed limit, and then not having to slow down for corners... Brilliant.
