Northwind watchit you'll be putting some neons and ICE into your car before you know it.
I'm probably after a 16V Mk 2 Golf GTI... Insurable, just And it will, I think, be just a wee bit chavvy. Just a wee bit.

(I really want a Mk 1, but it'd be a crime to let me loose on one of those. Or a Bug, but as much as I love them, they're rubbish. I really want a Capri, but it wouldn't fit in the space in the driveway...

Might as well.........no chance of wheelies or stoppies (although I've always thought it should be possible to stoppie a Smart car ).

Hmm....is that a good idea

Are you doing a proper license or just Auto ? .

First car was 1. something metro . Sold it two weeks later for £150 profit after realising I'd made a mistake. Talk about a lucky escape.

Cheers
Ben

Proper license... Part of the reason a Golf appeals is that if I get a stock one, I'm not neccesarily going to **** with it
