Ok I will do!
Also do you know anything about me driving other cars, for example my dad has a 320Ci BMW Petrol, being that I am fully
Compensated, and he is fully com, am I able to drive his bmw with him in the passenger seat?
I know BMW's are not the last word in reliability, but why would you get compensated to drive one? They're not that bad are they? I have to pay to drive my HondaAlso do you know anything about me driving other cars, for example my dad has a 320Ci BMW Petrol, being that I am fully

Nope. Not unless you're named on his insurance.Memorise97 said:
also nobody mentioned a 1.6 Mini Cooper? Something wrong with these or??
Chocolate gearbox, tiny boot, great fun to drive. I had a modified Cooper S, was brilliant when out for some fun, not so much when living with it day to day I found.OP what about an Ibiza Sport or a Civic Sport? Maybe a C2 VTS? Mk1 1.6 Focus isn't a bad steer either IMO.
As an aside, I can't believe what insurance costs are like for new drivers now! When I started driving 7 years ago, I remember paying just over £700 FC in my own name on a Saxo VTR!

You don't seem like you would appreciate it but I bet it would be a lot of fun....
Not for £2500I love the concept of it! A dull average hatchback gets fitted with extremely luxurious equipment, and it doesn't look much different on the outside.

I have a 1.2 corsa c energy at the moment, I just wish they had a 1.8 fiesta zetec s, I have had a decent quote for a 1.8 tdci focus but not too sure about that!
That's weird, I also have a 1.2 Corsa C Energy! Just got an amazing quote on a Fiesta ST Mk6; £70 a month on modified car insurance. Might be worth a look into. Its funny you mention this because I just purchased a Pug 308 for the Mrs and I felt a bit old doing 80 odd sitting at just under 4k revs.
I am so used to larger engines it felt odd to me.
But you know what! It was more fun to drive than any of the cars I had!
I was nipping around everywhere. it was great!
