Newbie with some questions

[Mad Ax]

Hi all,

Newbie on-line, will hopefully be a Geep owner soon
Do new members get a round in here? If so my card's at the bar, what're ya drinking?

My mate has a black Geep for sale with a 2.0 Pinto, full soft-top, doors, electronic immobiliser etc. all in reasonably tidy condition but no tax or MOT. I had a look over it a few days ago and I think it should go straight thru the MOT with no probs (it passed last year). I can't afford yet another car to sit on my driveway until I've got time to fix it (I have two minis to fix this year).

Price to me is £600 - this seems OK to me, anyone got anything to add? Is there anything I should check before parting with my hard-borrowed cash?

What are Geeps like to insure? I'm 24 and live in a low-risk area so insurance isn't usually a problem for me, but I already have a modified Mini and a motorbike to insure! Can anyone recommend me an insurer who will do multi-car policies, most don't seem to offer this any more.

Thanks all,
ax

Hi

Hope you find this forum and if you do join the owners club helpful.

A good place to start looking for some of the answers you would like and possibly some you never thought of go to www.joctechnical.org.uk
On there I have compiled a FAQ page as well as lots of other interesting stuff.

Our other site www.transmissionsonline.org.uk is also worth a visit.

Many thanks, that was very useful. I'll check everything over when I go for a test-drive tomorrow.

I tried to join the JOC via the site but it didn't seem to work. Can you email the details to [e-mail] ?

Thanks,
Ax
