I'll post some pics of my MK2 Golf mate, (Ken - maybe put some of your sons on here too, although they're almost identical lol). Really think a Golf is the way forward! 1.3's seem a lot rarer, especially in decent colours (If I didn't have a red one I'd want a white one) but there's a few drivers about and as Ken said, they're not expensive to buy or run!
Dont go with Admiral there a bunch of tossers!! an uninsured unlicenced bimbo crashed into my old Tigra and my OLD insurance company (Admiral) payed out!!! shocking,also when i got the golf and told them it had a cobra alarm instead of my insurance going down they put it up saying it was a modification.
Tell me about it, i told them that if they were goinng to pay out i will change insurance companys, so they demanded the rest of my insurance money upfront for the rest of the year.Im now on my dads traders insurance ( a bit dodgy i no and i wont be building up any NCD but hay ho )
