[post]345420[/post] When it comes to the age of Puma drivers I seem to spot that most I see being driven are not being used by youngsters, maybe a bit expensive to insure or possibly the undeserved hairdresser car image. Also the cars do have a reputation for rust and are getting on a bit now, my 2 boys are 18 and 21 and both drive mk4 astras sxi 1.6 3 dr/ 2.0 coupe turbo, and neither have ever wanted to own a Puma despite being around them and in as passengers since 2008 with mine and wifes cars.
If you are going to tidy the car up I'd recommend getting mudflaps fitted as they';; stop a lot of the tarspot trouble. I found millie yellow a strange colour to polish as one minute it looked great and then in another light it looked as if I hadn't bothered, but I still like them and only sold mine to buy an old land rover , but soon missed it, hence the purchase of "red".
Also, if you do need any tyres in the near future I can get Michelin Pilot Sport 3's for £100 a set of 4. A friend of mine knows someone who uses these in a race series where the tyres are only used for one race and have to be changed. I got a set for the wifes Thunder and they are just brilliant. The tread comes a bit scuffed from the track use but it soon wears away and they are almost like new. Sorry, to anyone not near me but I cannot post these things.
