The 16v not an option?

I assume your getting the 8v for insurance reason as your youngish arent ya?

I assumed it was because he was looking to get the most power out the engine! :huh:

If it's just down to insurance go 16V? Very little difference for an extra 35BHP! :smiley:

It's insurance being one main reason, plus getting an 8V on the cheap as another. 16V doesn't really bother me too much, I'm happy to have an 8V :)

Would you consider a "rough" 16v? Not a total nail, but a "work in progress" motor? That way it could save you a few quid which would assist with insurance, or even a Cat C/D insurance jobbie. Even a small ding can write these off now so theres potential for a bargain, which may just need a bumper or door? Just a thought.  :wink:

Someone sent me a PM and it came through to my hotmail but I cannot see the PM on here someone was asking about my car if I was still selling and all the details and stuff.

If its someone on here will have to see about sending message a different way as I cannot PM since I had my acccount 'reset'
