What spare car do you have?
Discussion
I am (accidentally) collecting cars and might soon have P1, Merc, BMW and Cerb! So going to lose the P1 and BMW. So will then want a 3rd car. Any suggestions for a cerb partner!? Needs to be cheap to run, fun, safeish, every day car etc.... Can I really do a mini (with TLC etc then no running costs to speak of) or will I die of cuteness?
I started off with just a cerb and went about a year like that. Then I upgraded to cerb and girlfriends Punto (maybe that should be downgraded).
After a while I got my bike licence and added a CBR6 to the collection. Then we decided the repairs were worth more than the Punto so upgraded that to a Focus. Finally, for now, I've traded the CBR6 for a Sprint ST1050.
However, I'll be changing again sometime soon to bring in a 7 type blat/track car and maybe go looking for something like an E30 M3 to keep it company.

Gary, a few years ago I swapped my old 2002 tii with the sub-editor of Classic & Sports Cars' Mk 2 Golf GTi. It was a great car, practical, cost virtually nothing to run and sold it 2 years later for only a grand less than we "paid" for it.
Classic car insurance too. Find an unmolested one (there's the tricky bit, but 5 door white ones like ours are a good bet!), and you're laughing!
