I'm doing 250miles a week in my XE, fuel bill is steep, plus my insurance is 130 a month............ 120 a month on fuel............2 much to fork out and also save up at the same time for me! | |

I would just buy all the bits over time and keep the XE on the road then then rebuild the let then sell your engine and plank in the LET!!! A £500 Fiesta sounds like a good idea but wil probably cost more than you think to keep on the road - its an old probably nackered car after all!!! | |

Just got a quote on a 1.1 Fiesta G reg, 500 quid TPFT with a 250quid refund on XE insurance, that 250 would go towards my fiesta insurance which would leave me with a tiny insurance amount each month and a tiny tiny fuel bill! | |

quote: I would, the M3 was great for motorway miles and comfort etc etc. But its not the sort of car you'd get out on a Sunday morning and have a blat over the cat and fiddle. Well not unless you had a business meeting in Buxton!! Haha! :lol: | |

quote: It was shocking.........the worst car I have ever owned. Had a 318is (same shape and colour) before the M3 and that was as bad. Uninvolving, too safe and too quiet! :( My Corsa was great, but the main reason I got bored wasnt the straight line speed but its poor cornering abilities. We all know how boring putting your foot down is in a straight line and that all the Corsa could be used for! :( Spot on when you managed to get a race on a dual carriageway, as you said seeing other peoples faces was top! :lol: | |

Well once the LET is in, it will be put away each winter, was thinking about a scooby, just enjoy mine at the moment as i bought it for 2500 in September 2004, done nothing to it really. Thought i got a good deal really. | |

Sell the car now. Use that money (plus more saved money) to buy a fast standard car that is more suited to high power than a Corsa! | |

There are the odd bits here and there, very tiny though, underneath is sound. If i kept this one i'd probably gut it and have it down the body shop anyway as i want it top banana! | |

If its a good shell - ie no rust or that then stick the let in that 1! | |
