As above. Needs to be cheap to run, reliable, and capable of reaching 70 mph. Is it possible?

Bollocks, they arent quick. I dont want a quick car though. I want something which will get me to college and work and home again without costing too much whilst I spend on the rallye.

not as quick as your 106, but still a quick car considering how cheap they are to insure! My 1.2 LS will be up for sale soon, 51,000 miles, 8 months tax, insurance group 1 or 2 cant remember, does 50 to the gallon easily and ill put an MOT on it for you too for £500

ford escort 1.4, 1.6 or tdi

my mate has had 3 now all reliable and they go, shed loads of room for moving stuff (admitly he has crashed 2 of them)



they are really good actually

tdi has been the best mileage is amazing and has some power pulling away!

i bought a fiat panda from a dead woman for 100.

I used it for a few months whilst the bucket v1, and supra were built. It did the job and them some. Was such a great wee car.

I gave it away to some burd once i'd finished with it.

Disposable car
