  1. Barrie, just be greatful everyone walked away from the accident..

    Things happen, you cant predict, avoid or prevent, I realise as a parent you will find it hard not to worry, but he walked away, he's probably in more shock than you are...

    And lets be honest, he probably learnt more from that one incident that every day of safe driving leading up to it - experience is something you cant get in a classroom

  2. dont worry - i washed the car on saturday and found one of my fronts had been kerbed, as wheel as a rear i did last year!

    3 years without a problem, then 2 (or actually 3, but the third is tiny) in a year!

  3. okay, i've just seen a car advertised as having a 'cat D repaired front end'...

    it says the engine is sound, and it was just bodywork... and lets say the asking price is about 40% off normal...

    So.... what actually is cat d? considering the car any engine damage could be problematic...

    also, would it be increased insurance for the cat d?

    it is only a whim, and im probably not going to go ahead, but since its one of my dream cars, i may as well consider it... so any info would be greatfully recieved...

  4. well, just beat blacklist 1...

    how annoying, after a few races to enable the races, then the 5 blacklist races...

    and....

    you have a police chase at the end.....

    but not any chase, no, your level 6 with everyone after you - and all the normal tricks dont work... it seems when you get to 5 minutes (if you can) Mia calls and says something about a bridge, but just after that you meet an unmovable roadblock...

    after an hour of trying to do it i've given up - i hope i dont have to do the blacklist races again, cos that'd be annoying!

  5. Are Boxters down to 15k yet?

    There's a Y plate on Fleabay for just over 15k - seems a bit odd though as there are w and x reg's on there for 17k plus.

    Only prob for me is that they're 2.7 litre which considering the fact that I only live 2 1/2 miles from work is pretty pointless.

    The insurance is pretty good though, it's about the same as an Audi TT.

    actually, at 15k it'll be a 2.5, they didnt bring in the 2.7 until 02/03 (i think), of course you really dont want either of those...

    the 'S' is a 3.2 with a 6-speed box, and for a grand or two extra you get a lot more car, and the insurance isnt all that much higher...

    Of course, and 15k, you could get a very nice 964 911, as long as its been looked after, should be pretty reliable ;)

  6. Is that all a 78k 95 aristo is worth??

    yeah, the bottom has fallen out of the sports car market... you just need to trawl the private sales ads to see porsches and tvr's going for rock bottom prices - either that, or they just attract no interest..

    (i recently saw a 2000 Chimera 4.0 with 40k go for £10k)...

    Its a combination of increased personal debt, a general slow down in spending, connected to a lot of spending over xmas, alongside increase in fuel prices with uncertainty for the future...

    if your looking to buy something a touch older thats fast and uneconomical - now is the time to grab a bargin!
