As I am only 24 the main obstacle seems to be the cost of insurance. I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this. I really dont want to but a bloody golf like everyone else in uni

It all depends on how many years no claims etc you have. Just go to one of the online quote sites. If you need a reg, use the one in my sig Stu Edited by stwat, Sat Sep 12, 2009 7:43 pm.

As for the money, came into a few quid and have a bit of experience working on 190Es; my Dad had a 3 litre diesel that was barely original at all by the end. I quite fancy something more or less mechanically sound but needing minor stuff eg body work or exhaust doing. As long as the engine is happy so am I

Jeremy Thanks for the offer Jeremy, but as 'll be away from all my heavy tools (at home in Ireland) I'll have to keep repairs a bit lighter than that I'm afraid. A good excuse for not biting off more than I can chew perhaps. I reckon I'll have to travel south to find what I'm looking for, I'm in uni in Aberdeen...
