I had a 58 reg Nissan Note 1.6 Tekna Auto. It was parked up over the winter at the end of 2009 into 2010, as it was SH1T in the snow. So I decided to get something that was cheap to buy and was good in the snow...Enter Chugga, even though the Note was only 18 months old.
From this...
To this (as Chugga was when I bought her...
Had a large number of other vehicles before the Note, but that was the most recent car.
