cheers guys, theres a couple of cars i woudnt have thought of.

the micra sounds like a good idea but dont know if i could handle the lack of grunt driving too and from work everyday. i think ill opt for something that gives me change from the 5K. quite like the seat leon tdi pretty much the perfect size and has everything i want.

only thing is looking at all these deisels has got me thinking! the new shape leon FR is very nice espicially with the btcc body, and with 200bhp easily acheived and 50+ mpg with work it does sound appealing! :S

Jet wash it, and its clean. :D

Roughly, i get about 160/70 miles to 20 quid.. Depending how i drive..


Its meant to be 75 bhp standard, but when you drive it, and your passing the 100bhp 1.6 astra on boost.. You know its not 75 bhp. :D

No idea on fiqures tho. But it is epic fun, and gets lots of looks... Will upload more photos when i had it on ronals and 60mm kit :)
