only playing mate. A saxo might be faster than a corsa BUT he hasn't said HOW MUCH power he wants. There is LOTS of things that will beat a saxo

Well why not go for a totally different option and go for the beetle do a really good restoration project etc?

Would certainly be worth while in the end

ive looked a 5 gtt before and they were cheap enough to insure but they seem to have all be molested, 106 gti was too much on the insurance but i like them quite alot too, ibiza not really that fond of but a cordoba and starlets are always cool but not sure on the insurance

edit i bought the switches straight from crazyleds off ebay

VTR is group 7
VTS is group 13/14
Redtop would be about the same to insure as a VTS
