  • Nom. That thing on the roof... Mirror?

    Can anyone think of a cheap car which might be vaguely cheap to insure - no higher than Grp.6 ins. Trying to find something to replace my dead 306, not bothered about size/brand/speed. Would even be happy with a Fiat Panda but seem to be having a mental blockage when looking for a car on the interweb.

  • fiat cinquicento. seem to remember that even sporting's were super cheap to insure. Bit of fun too! I really fancy one!

  • @Oz - Cinquecento Sporting. Hilarious to drive. Even the Schumacher edition was reasonably inexpensive.

  • Ooh, forgot about those. One on ebay 15miles from me, only £250 yet. I may snipe it.

  • The only issue is that the rear seat is rather like a deck chair. And they only came in red or yellow.

  • I've only ever used the rear seats in my 306 3 times in the past 4yrs, since I started driving. They were useful as sound deadening and stopping stuff from moving around though.

    Basically my insurance policy only started last week, the car is now written off. If I cancel the policy they will chase me for the £1200. If I transfer the policy onto another car I still have to pay the price but I'll be paying for insurance on a car. A bit fucking annoying as this is the 4th year I've insured with the same company. So I'm just looking for something I can drive to work and back when it's pissing it down.

  • Nice, nice.

  • The BMW obsession on here is spectacular!

  • I do drive one...

  • The ultimate driving machine...

  • I was well into Scalextric as a kid and my favourite car I had was a black M1, this was the start of an bit of an obsession.

    That and there cool when in the right hands. ^^He doesn't count.

  • I'm not sure how many of you are into drifting but this is a pretty epic E30 build. Dutch I believe, absolute monster.

    E39 5.0 V8

    The guy is a great drifter too. He's in JDM Allstars which is invite only and basically a series to showcase drifting around the world.

    SEAMLESS!

  • I used to be able to drift around the Eastern Avenue roundabout where the huge cinema and the exit for Faeces in Ilford is.

    Wouldn't do it now though your Honour...

  • Ha I know that one. First time I hit Gallows Corner in the 5 I was sideways across 2 lanes. I found it stops people pulling out in front of you.

    I recreated a load of the 1979 procar liveries in Forza 3 with the dream of recreating this online with some friends. Lost motivation somewhere along the way and it never happened :(

  • Ha I know that one. First time I hit Gallows Corner in the 5 I was sideways across 2 lanes. I found it stops people pulling out in front of you.

    Out of the bottom of Upminster (through the lanes to Brentwood) there's a huge, sweeping left-hander which never fails to raise a smile when I drift around it and scare myself shitless.

    Something else I wouldn't do now your Honour.

  • HAHA yeah I know that one too!

    Where abouts in Essex did you live then?

    Sounds like it's probably not far from me.

  • And just because this is a great photo

    JA JA JA JA

    Chevrolet/Daewoo Matiz.
    Shit, but the cheapest car to insure that exists.

  • VW Lupo

    I had a Lupo GTI and it was one of the best hot hatches i have had

    A couple of Lancia 037s I think
