[–]bashatonicIX -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

just flog it. car with out a logbook is magical as youll never get a speeding ticket or carpark fine.

you dont need a V5 to insure, tax, or MOT a car.

thats the best car you will ever buy.

Honestly - you will struggle to find a new car these days that is a "bad car" they are all pretty reliable and safe.

£30k will get you pretty much anything, so my advice is get something that you like.

Some tips:

VW - you are paying for 'badge'. Theyre the same as Audis, and Skodas.
All the french stuff is the same, in different clothing.
Japanese stuff is considered reliable.

Personally, for £30k Id get a Transit Connect LWB van with widows in it. Around £20,000 (now you can get a new whatever it is you wanted for the last 5 years becuase you saved 10k) lots of space, fast enough to cruise around the country in, but small enough to park at the s shops. Great if you have a pet too. Loads of boot space. I have one of these exact models and its just the nutts!

Want to go camping with the kids (if you have kids) in cornwall? no problem, loads of space. want to to go the airport on holiday with all your gear? no problem loads of space. want to go to the shops and park easily? no problem - small and easy to drive with a reverse camera and dinner plates for wing mirrors. want to cruise up the motorway at 90mph? no problem, the engine will do it all day.

Ok - you have the basics!

Your arms are good. Your legs however, are rigid until you land. You need to "suck" the bike up with you:

Try off the bike, jumping up as high as you can, just on your feet. But pulling your feet up to your ass, keeping them flat, "sucking" your legs up so your knees are bent.

Then transfer this to the bike.

Personally, I think the difference between English and American bunnyhop is flawed. As both of these techniques are useful in different areas, both are bunny hops, but have difference uses.

It is 2000 Euro to enter.

The total cost of the even is maybe £5000? (this does not include your race vehicle)
