hi people,
i just sold my min yesterday and have upto 1300 pound to play with, im unsure of what i want tho,
i am wanting something quite quick,part modified (ish,lowered,exhaust etc etc)
but cant be too ott as the girlfriend will need to drive it and i dont want to fork out LOADS on insurance,
what cars can you think of?
i was looking at mk4 astra 1.6's/1.8's
seat ibiza 1.4's
polo's
anyone got anything for sale that you think might be of interest to me either (nothing like an auto trader! i mean car wise!! lol)? let me know,
cheers, brad

none of them cars you have listed are quite quick 
mk4 astra 1.8 sports are ok though, although slower than a corsa 1.6 sport

So a VTS is less boy racer in your eyes how exactly? They look the same apart from the wheels!
Doubt you'd find a quicker 1.6 tbh
VTR or VTS if you can afford it IMO.

just insurance on a vtr/s is just that bit too much....
was looking at them before but just can stretch to the 140 per month it would cost.

Norwich union at the time. This is going back 5yrs tho. There's probably been a fair few wrapped up since then £820 sounds reasonable.
