Probably, I paid 1500 when I was 19, but that was on a MR2 worth £12k.
Just now im paying £157 for the alfa

I drive about 70-80 miles every day. To spend an extra 1300 for a red top isnt too much money to get that sort of power and doing that many miles. In my opinion anyway. And abviously im not going to love throwing 3 grand away but worth every penny in my eyes.

you travel 70-80 miles a day and your adding a bigger engine,which is gonna cost you even more on petrol..makes sense

In my eyes a red top corsa is a very decent car. Lets agree to disagree

the cost of the conversion,the insurance,the petrol cost,the every time it breaks down cost.all the money you would save from that,you could get a scooby or a skyline in about a years time when your insurance would be less?
I know which car i would prefer.

With flux you have to 25 or over to get yourself and your dad on the same policy, stops young people from insuring their parent on the car and driving it themselves as named driver.

I did the same for a while with Open & Direct, but can't do it with Flux unless 25 or over. It was a complete waste of time anyway, i missed out on years of NCB i could have been building up, i'm paying for it now though.
