I've been looking at Rado's,that seems a tiny bit overpriced...

watch out for the insurance on the 2.0 16v as i found it to be more than the G60.

I drove a 1.8 16v Rado  and my 8v mk2 seemed to be alot faster,however it was lovely to drive and was lowered sp much it handled beautifully.

I've convinced myself against it!!!

I've put too much into my valver to dump it now!

Also the rada is too expensive and If I do go for one in the future it will be a G60 or VR6 - may was well go the whole hog eh!!

So I'm still going to be pestering everyone on here for the forseeable future :grin: :grin: :grin:

wise decision mate.  especially as you say after pumping time and money into your mark 2.
i do fancy a rado myself but not yet, besides I cant afford to insure one.

I am 20 mate, 20 and a half to be precise  :laugh:

I havn't got any no claims bonus with me not having my own policy for longer than 6 months before.
I got a quote for a G60 that was £1700 ish taking into account me being 22 and having a years no claims.

I stuggled to get a decent quote for me mark 2 16v to be honest, have to insure it on 3000 miles a year and no commuting when i get it on the road and thats still going to be about £1200
