The ones that have been recycled and used for heinz beans tin cans ?

Mini's are nice Nick, but if you looking for something less cramped than your metro... then they aint for you. Defintely unique though!

Possible things to look at:

- 205 1.6 gti... bit old, hard to find decent one.. insurance is high too
- 106 rallye mk1... cracking little cars, handle better than my vtr, and their faster too
- fiesta 1.25 zetec.. very nippy for such a small engine
- saxo vtr, well, I chose this out of the bunch ... not as raw as the rallye... but far more comfort, leccy windows etc.
- clio 1.4RT .. + r5 turbo donor car :E .. ok maybe not

aaarrgghh...corsa = vauxhal sh*te ! next thing we know, you'll be recommendin a nova mate
mini's are great fun to drive. i had a blat in my mates around the common, ahem, i mean private roads... and it was the most fun i ever had outside me bedroom they are fast as hell and so easy to chuck around and get sideways round corners etc... go with the mini mate.

I quite like the new Corsa Sxi (1.2??), and as for them being shocking - thats personal opinion. I do my lessons in them and although i havn't had chance to drive any other cars i think they r fun! (If it wasn't a 1.0l )

THERES ONLY ONE CAR FOR YOU MATEY

Peugeot 306

Ive said it before and I'll say it again....and again

1.4 is slow though. (Group for for most though

Mark 1 went like this;

XN- Bog standard.....nothing at all except and engine and sometimes a horrid pop up roof

XL- Normally electric Windows...some times a sun roof

XR- ELec windows and mirrors and usually a roof.....

XT- Poshest..velour, etc

then theres the ULTIMATE Group 4 Monster....

1.9 DTurbo ......sprts seats and suspension, front fogs.....40miles per gallon when you kick the hell outta it, over 50 on a run

1.6 XS.....nearly the same but Petrol, so only 30 mpg

dont go higher engine....to much insurance

1.4 = 60 bhp......slow but ACE on fuel
1.6 = 90 bhp.....pick of the bunch in petrol models
1.8 forget it
1.9 Diesel......ok....70 bhp I think......not great..just OK
1.9 Turbo Diesel.....90 bhp......turbo lag then....WHOOSH

and GROUP 4


Next series 2.....

L- standard but way better that Mk 1
LX- Lots of electrics
GLX- Vel;our, luxury electrics
D Turbo.........whoooosh

Go find matey

(and to DREAM about: 306 GTi-6....168 bhp 2.0 16v 6 speed....and the Rallye version.....no electric equipment, thin carpet, no air con or sunroof.....just lightweight HEAVEN )
