You may do, you don't know til you start driving, 998s can certainly be alot of fun!

also i find that you're more willing to really get speed thru corners etc in a lower capacity vehicle because you're trying that much harder, so you're less restrained than a 1275+ :dontgetit:

dont get me wrong, if you want a big one go for it, but the insurance will crucify you

i work for an insurance company and minis are the cheapest cars to insure being from grp 2 all the way up to 15, the highest 1275 i think is the paul smith because its lmtd and quite popular with thieves. the cheapest being the 998's n 850's, but even my 1275GT is only a grp 4. i doubt u'll find a cheaper car the insure than a mini, depsite the engine size!
most cars these days are grp 4 onwards, all apart from them electric plastic buggies with roofs that go 3mph.

You mean the Smart Car :tongue:
