Recommend me a car!
After a dirt cheap reliable car to see me through winter.
 I'm not getting the bike out if it's snowing or icy, which if the predictions are correct, it may well be this winter! I'm 24 so insurance needs to be reasonable. Will mainly be used for commuting ~10miles a day. What can you lot find me for less than £500 near Leeds? Go!

Re: Recommend me a car!
I've just bought a 91 MR2 Jap import RWD mid engine with 18" wheals Blue flame exhaust immaculate condition for 1800. 600 to insure FC, at 23.
Push the boat out go on. You know you want 29MPG with the rear spinning up in anything but dry conditions!  |

...RWD when he purposefully wants to use it when the conditions are bad? Yeah, ok.

How about this beauty
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...rs?logcode=flp or this one! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...63bu?logcode=p Toyotas you can't go wrong with. My mate bought one with 180k to hack his final year at uni, all it needed was 4 tires and a MOT
