yeah i'm gonna have a look at classic insurance as my car now qualifies- 14 or 15 years old i think, it is supposed to be proper cheap but remember the mileage is usually limited mind you so's mine at the moment to 9 or 10k i think

Already got my perfect mini thanks I passed my test in it and spend most of my money on it so i never really want to sell it so i think i'll just modify it, even keeping the 998cc engine you can get the power up to 80-90 bhp which is double what i have now. Next on my list is a set of minilite alloys as i don't like the current wheels
See what i mean BTW i wouldn't buy a 1.3i as they are alot more difficult to modify that the old carburettor models

well your half way there i would say. in fact, it is a mutilation of a man, woman, giraffe and hippopotomus. the penis of a man, the tits of a woman, the ass of a giraffe and the face of a hippo!!

Dan, do the world a favor and never have kids.
Squeek, get a Saxo VTS. That way you'll have a cool car and be faster than Gis. Otherwise a Mini would be damn cool.

ray vs dan = ray owned
anyway insuring a VTS as a first car is pretty much impossible,LOL
but i reckon a mini is a good choice or the 205 GTI which if found a good one can be quicker than my VTR,lol

Insurance is the killer in england, u can get sum really quick cars for under 10k but the insurance is astronomic, so no one under 25 can get em. U'll never get a 205 GTI 1.9 insured under 21 at least, its a bastard, but just get sumthing for your 1st year that you wont waste money on and wont crash, then after a few year no claims bonus think about a nice car.

As soon as you go to insurance company at an age of under 21, with any car thats a GTI, or any other form of sporty model then they just laugh at you.
The VTR is pretty good as its low insurance company, same as my car, group 9 i think. but the old GTI's are lkike group 15 insurance! And ur fucked for getttin them insured.
A 1.4 pug 205 would be an awrite start, cus u can pick up the 1.9 GTI wheels to wack on it for cheap.

Has anyone seen a set of those crazy wheels that are on a fly-wheel, so when you stop the wheels keep on spinning? Pics? Clips?
