lol...got my heart set on this now :lol:

will just talk them round

If its only for 6 months best plan would be to get an XE corsa.....plenty available & no problems starting them in the cold & other assosiated carb problems :boggle:

6 months will fly by & then you will be onto a diff motor :look:

You'll miss the cold weather if its only for 6 months.

Insurance is a fraction of the cost

Why an XE on carbs? It'll be just as thirsty as the scooby or not far off anyway :lol:

I think my main question is about the cold weather. Dad seems to think he's well up on this and i'll have problems.

Been told once a year....but i'd have the car 6 months tops anyway because i should be sorted financially again then :o

:lol: if it was my money I would do what the fuck I like, but since it's not then I really don't want to cause a fall out because there's been too many of them in the past.

So they lent you money - doesnt mean they own you!! :lol:

I plan to get a S2 Elise after summer (Yes after!! :lol: ) Im not even going to mention it to them until I pay them their usual sunday visit & rally it up the drive :lol:

They can be good cars if you treat them right, nice to drive at slow speeds & plenty of fun when you floor it

lol, sort of got me over a barrel really. They lent me the cash for the scooby and since I haven't bothered to start to pay them back yet then the car is technically theirs :lol:

So the corsa would be too :lol:

Anyway...any problems really? i.e. in cold weather?

To answer your question - any car could have problems, just be sure what your buying & check everything out!!

Best course of action is to just do it, park up the drive & wait for them to explode!! :cool: :lol:

NEVER.....ask your parents there opinion on what car your planning to get!! :lol:

As you may be aware, i'm sellin my scooby and planning to get an XE on carbs.

Had a talk with the folks and my dad (who knows everything about this of course :rolleyes: ) reckons i'll have loads of problems.

Does anyone think this too or is it bollocks?
