Have you looked at Fiat Bravo's and Brava's? They're cheap i think mate and alot have 1.4 engines which is good for MPG, Insurance and Tax. Worth a look i reckon mate :)

If you can get it down in price yep superb :) How's the insurance on summit so big tho? Also what kinda mpg will you be getting? All things to bare in mind. Also if you get one with a full MOT on it - you will be able to sell it without having to have it done or trying to sell it with a very short MOT :cool:

I drive one of these mate. 40mpg even at well above the national speed limit ;) Dead cheap to insure and also to tax. Probably a long way from you BUT this is the kinda thing you wanna see........12 months MOT and 6 months tax. :cool: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/200943344172849/sort/priceasc/search-target/usedcars/make/rover/model/25/price-to/1000/radius/1501/page/1/postcode/pr90jq?previous=%2Fsearch%2Fresults%2Fusedcars%2Fpostcode%2Fpr90jq%2Fradius%2F1501%2Fmake%2Frover%2Fmodel%2F25%2Fprice-to%2F1000%2Fsort%2Fpriceasc%2Fpage%2F1&anchor=advert200943344172849&logcode=p

Have dealt a couple of 306's and they've been ok, obviously not owned them long enough to weed out any common faults etc but overall fairly good cars. I'd just be very wary of short MOTs as you may well incur serious cost if loads needs doing! Check it very thoroughly if you can only find cars with short MOTs. Maybe ask the seller to re MOT it for you if they're confident it will pass etc.... I have done it for buyers in the past when i've been confident its a good car. :)

Do you need summit so big fella? Can't you buy a 5 door hatch or summit. Surely you stand a better chance with your budget and also insurance will be miles cheaper!

Well that throws it out the window really mate! You'll end up it costing you double your budget! Keep looking IMO.

Someone please own up to this one :rofl:

Can't you just stretch the extra £50 and get the pug? Seems a cheap motor to me.

I don't get far off that Mike and mines running just fine :D Tis only a Sunday car tho :D

I deffo would :wack: :D

HID's :cool:

Which one? :p

Unless we can get a date near by that suits everyone on the list we have i think it may be an idea to leave it till the new year and get a concrete date set up. Thoughts?

Nice one Mike - you'll do a top job!!! :duffer:

Si............. :p

Go for it mate, go olive! Black and white - there are loads of zeds out there, but no olive ones that i know of. DO IT :D

VERY nice!!!!! I'm a massive fan of Audi's and that looks the nuts! :bow: :bow:

Its difficult to say with PS's really as they are never anything like the real deal. The black PS looks the nuts but essentially it will just be another black zed and having seen plenty of black zeds they look no where near as stunning as the PS version. Same with the white. Its not that i don't like black and white zeds but its not easy to choose off PS IMO. The olive with the wheels looks really good IMO, but again i have no real conception as to what it will look like for real. That could be really nice but on the other hand it could be a disaster. Have you got any pictures of ANY car in the colour you're thinking??? Sounds like i'm being very negative which i'm not trying to be but PS's make cars look so nice but when they're the real thing they are no where near as picture perfect.

I'd say the Primera also :cool:

Very nice Dan :bow: Freakin bargain too!!!! :eek: :D

FFS i cannot believe my fvckin luck sometimes!!!!! :rant: :rant: I've agreed to a works night out on the same feckin night!!!!!! Sorry guys can't make 2 things on the same night! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!! :rant:

Welcome to the Club :)

Thats awful Pete mate, really glad you're ok tho!!!!

Well you did wanna borrow it Daz! Another free bump for ya, you big queer :p

Agreed! I think we should get a few dates off Awesome and then put it to a poll. I really want everyone who is on the original list to attend!!
