Oh god did I really say thatFor £150 you will get a project, no MOT unless you are very lucky. If you really live in the sticks and don't really plan on getting your hands dirty, are you sure a Bis is for you, or even an aircooled. They will break down, thats part of the fun. A MK 2 Golf would be same price and less hassle.

A Golf?
Insuring a 17 year old on a Golf would be pricey. It's already expensive enough on a 126, nevermind a boy racer car.
I wouldn't mind getting my hands dirty at all, but I'm hardly a mechanic. The best thing I've built is a drum machine controller in Design and Technology, and I got a D grade. I'd have to have a lot of luck to get a project car and then even more luck actually making it roadworthy... Hmm.
Maybe I could just
save and get a nice 126 which works.
Although the question is now, what sort of one will actually be best for countryside driving? If they break down all the time, I may have to consider finding another car. I know that the Cinquecento my mum used to have was in the garage a fair few times, but that was usually something to do with tyres and the fan. The head gasket blew once, that's when we had to get rid of it, however we do about 100 miles a day. The kind of driving I'd be doing would be 100 miles every week, just to see my girlfriend and maybe go to the pub on a Friday. Would it give me trouble for that kind of driving? And if I ever do us it to drive to school, which would put the mileage up to 50 or 60 a day, would it cause a lot of problems to the car and cost more than I would like it to?
Godspeed,
James
