Oh yes, the 180 will do me nicely, got a quote of £372.40!! Thats cheaper than the renewal i just got for the zr! Looking for one in the region of 5-6.5k just got a civic as a courtesy cars, quite nice but not for me

Unfortunate, but these things happen. At least you don't have to pay for a re-test...
