Sweet, Need some pictures of it

Drove it to my grans last night without any issues, it really is awesome, noise is better, it is quicker, breaks better, clutch is better, gearbox is tighter, interior feels better. All round more awesome car. Just too high and I dislike the seats. I'll get some pictures of it from the history and will probably go shoot it very quickly on my grans driveway today as last night I forgot the card!!

SSR quoted me around £400 a wheel for a set of FL-II's. But I can get a set of custom Force Racing Wheels for £120 a wheel. wtf

Just 2 Mini's and I use my dad's Subaru Justy to run around in. I have the Cooper with the build thread on here and another with a Suzuki engine in it. Got the Cooper, so I can get some more driving experience, no claims etc as the Suzuki powered one has billions of modifications on it

Ah right, makes sense then. Have you had any luck with classic quotes? You're younger than me and no companies will consider me without being 25.

Yep

I phoned Adrian Flux, who were supposed to be pretty decent for Mini insurance, but they wanted close to £2,000 fully comp, in my name and being 18.

I got an online quote from Direct Line because that's who my parents and with and was quoted around £900ish fully comp, in my name and being 18. It should go down a little bit more when I'm 19 too!

AF usually seem shit, but amazingly they will do my E24, with my no claims in use on the 306, for around £800! Which is pretty good, but still £800 more than I currently have to hand. Who wants some BBSs.

Yeah, I just tried them first because I have a 5% discount(every little helps, right? for being a member of a Mini forum.

You should try Frank Pickles. One of the members of the Mini forum got a really, really good deal with his. All mods declared, fully comp, 23 and I think it was about £200ish?
