Nah, they are holding up okay. They dropped £250 this month in the book, which means they faired better than most cars.

I made money on mine
how did you work that out , have you offset the car against tax then ??
From the US forum I like this guys approach to weight reduction
"My setup:
Driver Stock - 147lbs (heavy college drinking, shitty diet)
Passenger Stock - 130lbs (annoying ex g/f + her emotional baggage)
Driver Modded - 135lbs (healthier diet, no more soda and minimal carbs)
Passenger Modded - Dumped annoying ex for 104lb cutie with zero baggage
Total weight savings: 38lbs"
