Sounds more like a double-decker bus to me.
Letting a old woman on, so the driver let his hydrolics down.

But I dont know much about automobiles :cool:

i like scooby's, but prefer the newer model. I like yours though, whats the engine size etc? Also how old ar you, and whats insurance?

Btw is that number plate legal?

Keepingthe ZR for 3 years, then going to get a Golf GTi (Will be 22 then, so insurance will be affordable!)

Ouch, still £825 at 31, even with the points that seems high.

You got any no claims?

I already have my first car for when I am 17 :D
Ford Sierra 2L turbo...
My mate did an insuracne check as I found them sooo confusing (This is with Norwich Union I think) and it came to £2'347 or something like that.
Then again I suppose it's because I'm a new driver and have no years claims etc etc.

haha, I'll stick with my motorbike!


EDIT:

Not a bad car Dale, although I've never been keen on MG's.

Price is prolly due to the points, and is it in the sports car category?

Sports Car + Points = high chance of needing to claim (in their eyes)

does the job.

When you're sitting at the checkout in Tesco helping people bag their shopping for minimum wage? The only reason you'll be laughing then is because if you don't, you'll cry.

Tesco actually have decent pay, not sure what minimum is (like £4.75 or something?), but in tesco atm I'm on £6 an hour, though doing 8.5 hours a week it doesn't exactly come to much :( (hence the car)

Minimum wage for 16 yr old is £3, 18yr old is £4.25, £4.75 is for 21 iirc.

Tesco do seem to pay quite above minimum wage.

i just did a check on rover 25 and an mg zr, given rover 25 can get a 2003 model for under 2g in top top condition... an mg zr which is slightly modified is just under 4g!!! Now, the amusing part is, the rover 25 is considered a better car , its more comfortable and reliable just lack of power...



Madness... i could buy a rover 25, and modify the bumper and lights and convert it to an mg style theme and still save less!!!

Will cost more than £500 to modify them,

Body kit £600-700, Alloys £600-700, Lowering few hundred quid, and then you have to tell insurance company its changed from standard fit, which will add a few hundred quid ontop.
