Something seriously wrong with your 8v then.

I believe it is 17 but if your over 25 go with a classic car insurance policy. Much cheaper than what some of the companies want to charge you (Which is frankly extortionate sometimes)

As per running I get 35ish MPG from a long run providing their is no tunnels or other modified cars about  :smiley:

You should go look at some vr6's that are for sale. from my experience a £1500 'minter' can easily be a shed underneath the surface and vice versa. Ealry ones seem to be stucturally better built than the later ones. In fact i have yet to come across a late Mk3 thats not riddled with some level of rot.
