Saw this rover metro today, good nick for its age and well looked after!

Not only one but two steering locks!=))
 
If I remember correctly, these were easily nickable, to get in, the scrotes just pulled the top of the door out!! They used to do it to the early fiestas too, a colleague once turned up for work in his with both door tops pulled out nearly horizontal, and no radio!

I had an mg metro 1.3 thought it was quick at the time, it was pretty sh!t with hindsight :D
 
I bought my daughter a metro from the auction for £60. One lady owner and maintained regardless of cost. She went shopping with her mum to Cheshire Oaks in it and after a day round the shops they unlocked it, started it and were about to drive off when she saw a coat on the back seat that was not hers. Her own car was two rows in front, so yes they were very easily nicked!

New cars of similar engine size are way quicker than they used to be. Tis relative to the period I suppose. Today's diesels are lighteningly quick compared to those of similar engine size from twenty-thirty years ago.
The metro was one of those cars that normal joe public drove back then. I wonder what everyone thinks is todays equivalent.
