I'm 6'4", and 3 of my mates are 6'2-4" as well (must be something in the water, eh?) so we decided to go to tescon at lunch. The looks on peoples' faces as we all scrambled out haha. We're all pretty heavy though (I row and they all play club rugby) so it was riding pretty low haha. We added a good 350kg to a 750kg car lol

It feels so different when you have a full car, it makes it so much harder to pull away and stop and because the suspension is compressed you change the handling quite a lot.

Ha! Yeah then when you have the car back to yourself, it turns into your little good handling pocket rocket :D And you fly off up the road xD

Halifax as strange as it is, was the cheapest for me, 18 years old and 1 year driving, 650 quid Bargs i thought, considering it comes with good old break down cover, although hopefully i will never have to use it :)

My boy mikey. Its love


Ahh i see, well Loyds TSB turned out to be my cheapest option..looked at loads of classic car/learner driver insurance and none them even compared to be honest!

ahh Mikey looks damn good, very nice :) Lol i know what youre talking about..my girlfriend is getting jealous because I talk about my car so much..it really is love haha :P

I know someone who's girlfriend dumped him because she thought he was spending too much time and money on his mini and not enough on her. She game him the question "It's me or the car." and he hesitated and said "Erm..." hahaha she just walked hahahaha! He came to the conclusion that the car was more reliable and cost him less anyway :lol:
