Hi folks!
Since 6 months, I own a blue Puma 1.6, first registred in 2003. I know production ended in 2001, so this one has been sitting in stock for 1-2 years probably :wink: It's also the last Puma registered in The Netherlands, according to license plate data.
It's a an absolute blast to drive! So happy with it, light, quick in the corners, fun to drive. And also cheap to run, no major faults up till this date (apart from the obvious rust on the rear wheel arches). And all that with almost 290,000 km on the odometer!
However, recently the engine started making knocking noises. Went to the local shop, diagnosis: broken big end bearings or crankshaft bearings. So that's a bit of a bummer. I hope it will run till Saturday, because I will go to the Ring with it for a proper send-off.
Here are some pics
