isnt anything wrong with it, just costs a lot of money to keep doing! never get your ideal mini that way.
Im using a cheap runaround so i can afford to build the mini, its just we suggested this a while ago which is the main reason people have said what they did.

Doesnt cost a thing, i MAKE money buy buying and selling my cars, every car ive had ive made money on when i sold it. I bought the red mini back for Â£2400, sold it for Â£2900....

I bought the clubman estate for Â£150... sold it for Â£950

Bought the silver metro for Â£450 sold it for Â£450 (ok nothing made ther but not a loss and it was well rusty)

Bought my mi16 205 for Â£1300 sold it for Â£1400

Ok i do workon them i guess, and put a little bit of money into them on servicing them and things, but i dont mind as its also a learning thing and i learn the bits as i go along, its a hobby but i havent lost a single penny from changing cars and the servicing is usually paid for by the profits. All my money i get from cars goes back on cars, if theres any left it goes on petrol.

so people are being dicks for no reason! lol

If we're all dicks, feel free not to post on our forum.

What about all the costs of insuring them? Whenever I get a new car they always charge me for swapping the insurance over.

feebleuk If you want to change your car every day you go ahead you are only young once and you have to cram as much in as you can before you get old like me.
