oh yeah ive seen that, it seems quite nice. insurance for me is fairly cheap but thats because i have some ncb and been driving a little longer, it should still be ok.

I am hoping so, if not, will keep the Punto 2 years and look into something else, 500 Abarth's are tempting, hope they fall a couple more K's in 2 years.

i really wanted an abarth 500 but couldnt afford one, im looking at getting a clio trophy or a 986 2.7 boxster.

Trophy, have a hatred passion for the 986's, really have not aged well IMO.

I'm leaning towards the trophy myself as it will be cheaper to run and will have more space for uni.

I think the Trophy is one of those cars that if i bought one and it was as good as the motoring press say i probably could not sell it.

I'm hoping it's as good as everyone says, evo rated joint with an F50 so I have high hopes.

Got to be careful with those early Boxsters, heard they have problems with cylinder liners or something, apparently notorious for them...


How have you still got your wheeltrims on? Obviuously not trying hard enough . Melvster and I made much better choices as first cars...

Mine was faultless when I owned it, although my sister has been driving it the past 6 weeks and has had 2 punctures! She can't be trying hard enough...

So far this has been nearly faultless (touch wood), also how hard am I meant to be trying Charles?

Hard as you can whilst staying within the confines of the roadway and without breaking any traffic laws, James! Btw your numberplate sucks

I had one of these, although the VTS (consider yourself top trumped, sir!). Fantastic little car, even if the build quality was sketchy. Is your bonnet underside primer only? Mine was! Magnificent.
