Can't you go to Minuteman or the Spanish equivalent? They would do that.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Bah. Modern cars are so minging. ESPECIALLY estates - that's why I got looking at old ones.

Oh well, can't work a spanner so I should forget about it.

Oh go on, be a man.

I love google street view.

My car just sitting in the driveway.

Hahahaha....

Now, I know where you live.

If I were to compare it to other modern stuff like Soulja Boy, its good. And it makes me smile, not have an urge to put a brick through my monitor.

Snow.

Big or small?

Quote from Furiously-Fast :

Nope... 6255.

Even if you were round to the nearest hundred, it is still wrong. it is meant to be 6300!

Rounding to the nearest 1000? :P Wait, that doesn't work.

And anyway, its 6256 NOW!

Anyway, guys! Its cool!

Busted went to the Year 3000!

He means that the Hardon Collider might finally work.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

I second this. It's a tad smaller than the Merc, but it makes up for it elsewhere.


But compared to the S13 above, they're too expensive and too much hassle for what they're worth. An S13 would be cheaper and more fun to drive if you can afford the insurance

They really are fast little things, at least if feels like that because its small. I'm am, of course, talking about the Classic Mini, not the new BMW Big.

Running costs, can't comment. Thats my dads business, but as long as you look after it and stop any problems before they become too big, you'll be fine. Rust is the tricky one, but isn't it easily treatable?

Fuel, not all that bad in the one we have.

Fuel Type, we've got the 1.6 sport model. Its fun. Petrol.

Transmission is a manual 5 speed.

It is, of course FWD, but this car gets away with it. And its good fun.

Equipment, radio slot is one of them that you can just put a stereo from Halfords into. Ours has leather seats! And one of the window winders works without falling off!

Body style: Saloon will hold 4 people, I can fit in the back of a classic Mini behind where my dad sits. I'm 5' 7" and he is 6' 3" and its not too bad. I couldn't fit in the new MINI when I was 5' 2" at most. Like Dougie says, a clubman might be a good idea.

Age: You'll be looking at pre-2001, thats when the good Minis were stopped so yeah, like Dougie says, more than likely anything over 15 years old for your budget.

Umm, Minis are fun, good cars and are definitely more respectable and cool than a Proton.

And then when you gain a bit more money, shove a Hayabusa engine in it. Or knock the dash back a few inches and throw in a Rover V8.

A Mini.

Quote from heson :

Belgian and irish beer.
Portuguese wine.
Scotich (islay) whisky.
American movies....

No weed, but this looks fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40MfeJn0360 (drugs lead to carpentry)

Merry Chri- No, thats not quite right.

Happy Easter?

What Islay whisky?

Take your car, do max speed down Blackwood and then press the clutch, change to first, release the clutch and tahdah.

Doesn't the BF1 have a horrible drilling sound? Its like drrrrrrrrr then it goes, or am I doing it wrong?

I am AIDS Virgin, the fabled N*gger, destined to study all myself.

Oh heck now I'm Dragon Penis, the chosen assassin, destined to steal 4CHAN.

What about Scania?

Quote from 5haz :

Am I the only under 20 here who dosen't have a games console?

I don't either! Don't really want one, I'm out on the bike too much. Which is what I got. Early present so I can use it, I paid £600 :P

A Proton. The one my Great Grandpa had that had no name.

I can only recommend eBuyer. But they are very good. It's kind of an Online Costco for electrics.

I don't mean to be rude or offensive, especially as cancer is such a horrible thing, but who is he?

Still, hope he recovers!

Quote from Bob Smith :

...my Mondeo.

I used to think you were cool.

I got my first pussy from a lovely blonde in the Shopping Centre. I still haven't opened it, I keep it under my bed. It's about a year old now.

It's a great idea though. It doesn't matter if it tastes vile, it'll sell just because of its name.

TVE jizzed.

Quote from Shadowww :

Speaking about city cars, I would love to see Tata Nano in LFS as UF1 competitor (UF1 would have to get a bit smaller engine to match it tho)

No no no, we need a G-Wiz.

Or that Top Gear disaster.

Best advice was to get accidental damage cover. Then when your machine is outdated you "break" it and get a laptop of an equivelant price, which will be better a year on.
