Im looking to spend around the 700-1000 mark  

There's loads on autotrader for less than a grand, some that need work doing on them are a few hundred beer tokens. You may have to look around for a good one but there's loads nationally and if you look on autotrader within about 20 miles of where you live I bet the search throws out a couple that are local that you could have a look at.

......oh yeah, just to re-iterate what a few have already said, stop racing cars for silly money when they are the same size engine as yours but half the size, physics matey !

ironically, I would of had the corsa except the final stretch of mountain road was a straight and we exited the last corner fast, This ment that the CL lost out on the high end, I was leading the whole way untill that last straight  :-[

The reasion i work on my car is to race, the CL WAS the fastest car in my price range at the time, Hence why i race in it, Besides, Its not 100% about the car

And thanks for the links to the cars, Ive just been talking to my insurance group, I want to stay with the CIS because they dont push up your rates if you have asthetic mods, They want around ?1500 a year on a 8V in mums name provided she swaps her car insurance too them as well. Any idea if thats a good deal?

As if by magic ! There's a thread in nonsense that a few have said what they are paying, have a look at this link

I insured my first car at 17 with CIS and have had a quote from them for every car i've had, and in my experience the reason they don't push up the rates for mods is that the rates can't go much higher.

I'd try shopping around more.  I would expect you could get an 8v insured for less than ?1500 in you own name.

Also, be careful if you do use your mums name, i knew someone who did that and when she crashed, the insurance people wouldn't pay out cos SHE couldn't prove she wasn't the main driver of the car.  So it can be a bit dodgy and also the best way to lower insurance premiums is not age but NCB.

If she couldn't prove that she was the main driver of the car how could they prove she wasn't??

[Speedydub]

My Polo is insured in my mums name, with me named as the main driver. I think that this is what Fielder means. MUCH cheaper  

[Fielder5757]

yup

[trustno1]

You should also stop betting ?150  when racing in a cl.  Save this money and get a gti.

LOOOOOL
