As ive said in another thread im just going to get an old ?500 banger with an mot ticket on and some tax and just thrash it around.......be nice to just walk up to a car and just belt it one with a hammer and not give a fook where as with my ZS i feel i have to wrap it up in cotton wool and that paranoia isnt for me no more
In Time hopefully i can go out and buy another but most likely not ive owned MG/Rover since i passed my test and i fancy a change
RIP Rover Ownership

Well Im on almost minimum wage, have to live on Families Tax.
But whats the point of saving money to live life bored.
I dont need a car full stop, without one Id save ?40 (garage) ?55 (Insurance) ?75 (Petrol) ?20 (Tax), plus servicing, tyres....
BUT! Id be a lifeless, boring, zombiefied better off financially person. I dont want to live, unless life is fun. Thats why my ZS180 will continue to cosy me most of my money, take me to motorracing, car shows, marshalling.
In another page, we all talking about organising a trip to the touring cars at Brands in April. Its expensive, but we all want to go.
Come on lads, if we worried about money, we would never go out with girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, they cost more than cars...........

It's nothing to do with being boring me ode china it's more the fact of things are becoming more and more expensive and people such as myself are finding things even more difficult then say a few months back......
EDIT: Just Spotted a car i want and am going to look at
Owning such a huge petrol drinking monster of a V6 car paying ?80 a month on insurance ?20 tax etc when it sits they're because I can't afford to put fuel into it is a waste of time.......I'll be honest and say I'm having seconds of getting shut and just sorning it away but what's the point
I wish I got tax credits.... my friend who I work with has 2 kids and he gets just short of an extra ?150 a week extra on top of his wages I don't think it's fair but that's life!!!

cheers Gary I will have a look at those... not sure of budget prob gonna be about 2k and then when I shift the 180 some of the money from that will go to the new zed and the rest will go into savings... woooooo lol.
Do the derv's suffer with the same clutch issue?
Just had a look.... the 4th and last link look nice but the mk1 is almost the same price as the mk2 suppose its a dealer though.

Just to add a bit to what I was talking about on page 1 about stupid insurance costs, it really does depend largely on where you are.
I just ran an insurance quote through confused.com for a 54 plate 1.2l VW polo that someone is selling on another forum (quite nice, actually, just shy of 50mpg too), and it came back with a premium of 85% of the cost of my ZS 180 insurance. For an extra 15%, thats a hell of a lot more car! I think insurance companies have mistaken my postcode for somewhere in Beirut.
