as said, you're a very wise man mate

great first car- my first car is a premier too, ive still got it after almost 1 year driving
you're on the same track as me- build up your no claims and move on

you dont have to modify to have a nice project car- take a look at mine if you wish

update 1 (december 2005)
update 2 (april 2006)
latest update..
