LukeBird needs our help....

[minimatt1967]

Ladies and Gentleman of the South Coast, our poor friend LukeBird is in need of our assistance. He recently has suffered the loss of his black Clio at the hands of some insane person who decided his/her brakes were not adequate, so they decided to use Lukes brakes as well.
As they say ever cloud etc... This leaves Luke able to look at purchasing a replacement vehicle. Alas insurance is a problem so it needs to be relatively friendly in that department. Let the suggestions begin....

Luke, on the subject of insurance have you tried Adrian Flux? My friend got a quote for his Maser and the best off of any of the comparison site was £1400, called AF who quoted him £840 and he's only 27!

Luke, I don't know what the insurance would be like for you because it's a custom car, but this MX5 has been highly recommended by the chaps in the MX5 forum here. Apparently everything has been done to an extremely high spec, no expense spared, and the car is running a very lazy 220bhp with potential for much more. A smidge under £6.8k. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/905959.htm I will stop posting now!

Gimme!!

That really is quite something isn't it? That must be 60 in the low 6's shirley?

Same weight as my VX with more power and the linearity of a SC? You're probably talking more like low 5s or even high 4s with the correct launch.

Holy fk
