I'm just thinking of what car to get next for about 3k. Anyone got any ideas? It has gotta be cheap to insure so has to be standard!!! | |

quote: I got it from a Peugeot garage. It's got a FPSH and all the old MOTs. Something just makes me think it has been clocked though. I haven't put my finger on it yet but i have noticed that there is no receipts for parts, the rubber on the pedals is quite badly worn, 4 new tyres were put on during the last service (6 months ago) or so it says in the service book which are only just road legal. | |

quote: When i first got mine i was red line it eveywhere. Mine is quite fast for a 1.1. Had my mate off in his 1.3 Escort!!! Not much point in it though really, just wreck the car, write it off or kill someone. I try to stick to the speed limits now. I think i might have seen that car for sale in the garage i got mine from. Does it have a fat zorst, a big Kenwood sticker in the back window, 3 door and a Zest 2 model? | |

Today my car has been playing up a bit. Everytime i start it up it starts first time but then it's strugling to stay alive. Once you rev it a few times it's fine. This is happening from both cold and warm. Anyone got any ideas what it could be? |
