WTD Small, cheap car
speedyxjs - 30/6/10 at 06:19 PM

Im after a car to use as a courtesy car. Im going to an auction on friday and am keeping an eye out in the usual places but then thought id see if any locostbuilders had anything

The car need to be in good condition, under 100k, low insurance, small, reliable, less than £700 and no more than 14 years old.

Im happy for anything that might need abit of work (no MOT etc)

I knwo tis a bit of a long shot but if anyone has anything that might be suitable, u2u me

If you're still thinking of being a mobile mechanic I'm quite worried for you mate - very little you've ever said on here would pursuade me to let you within 100 metres of any of my cars I'm afraid........ I know I sound very negative BUT I'm a half decent kit car mechanic, have an honours degree in Automotive engineering and I pursuaded someone many years ago to give me a job as a proper mechanic and I simply didn't have the experience to be able to handle it..... hope you have decent liability insurance

Bit harsh that and not needed. I think better saved for a U2 if those are your thoughts in my opinion.

If it is for your venture Mark, good luck to you.

No, im not doing it mobile, we have brought a unit.

Surely that is the reason we go to college as i have been for the last few years. Do you really think i would be doing it if i didnt have any idea what i was doing???
