Yes I have hit rock bottom and gone and purchased myself a 95 Nissan Micra two door.
1.3lt twincam, 5-speed,nasty green paint with peeling clear, and she leaks like a sub with flyscreens :lol: .
Has anyone else here ever had the Pleasure :lol: of owning/driving/servicing one?
Once the wedding is out of the way,might have to perform a Mivec 6A12 transplant 8) .
Take care guys/girls and will post some pics once I clean her up a little.

Personally I hate Micras and think that if I were to have a chosen car that I would seek out and destroy, it would be them. Just saying :/

K-11 was a Soviet November-class (Project 627A) nuclear-powered attack submarine that had two reactor accidents during loading of the nuclear reactor core in Severodvinsk on 7 and 12 February 1965.

Have a look at mighty car mods on youtube. They started out modding micras and cuores, so you'll be able to get a lot of inspiration from them. All very tasteful and cheap mods. ;)
