...is more than even I can bear.

So, with some regret, it's no more Puntos for me. Or, at least, no more Mk1 Puntos. Did the head gasket woes continue on the Mk 2 and Grande Punto?

My Sporting died yet again on the M5 on the way to work last week. Luckily I'd changed my insurance only a couple of weeks ago, and added breakdown for the first time. That saved me 250 quid, the breakdown guy said when he eventually arrived.

So I want rid now. I'll put an ad in Classifieds. A real shame cos it was a lovely car to drive.
