When I phone up to get a insuance quote all they do is put the phone down at me because i want to insure a Z cars conversion.
Does anyone know a good company for 17 year old first time driver?

i want to impress my mates. how do i make flames come out of my exhaust? ^_^


Do you have an exhaust on this model of topic?!


not at the moment, but im going to fit a straight through 5" super bore exhaust from halfords. its 50% off and i hear they do high quality car parts? im also fitting twin webers to my 998. what kind of power increase will i see? im hoping around 100bhp to bring it to around 250bhp. will this be enough for driving on motorways?

I've just seen this car on ebay, the chap says he lives in spain most of the year and the car is over there, its a 1990 cooper sport 500, its been personally signed by John Cooper and Alec Issigonis. The guy selling it will only accept payment via western union and has also offered me a free weeks holiday in his villa and the use of his private plane to collect the car.

He only want £10000 for the car(paid for in advance)

I can understand that he won't give me his address until full payment is recieved as he is worried about having the car stolen.

I know this is a once in a lifetime deal(I only have 3 minutes to reply back as the King of Sheba is also interested in buying the car)

Do you think this is a scam?

I agree - much more realistic, however lowering it just made it look stupid.

yes - it'll make you a pillar of the community, chicks will find you irresistable, and you'll be the envy of all your mates. Use lots of gaffa tape to hold it on, paint it with hammerite - preferablly a different colour than the car, but leave it primer for at least 8 months first.
