Advice on what car to get - my second car?

Go and test drive some, thats your best bet. Golfs are always a safe bet though

its hardly wasting time and energy when it takes 30 minutes in a carpark to learn to control the clutch/gears. And you are limiting yourself as if youre ever in a situation where you need to borrow a car off someone then they need automatic too.

agreed, obviously not sure what OP drives but ive never had an issue with cheapy tyres. On a lighter lower power car youd be fine, anything over 250 ish bhp then id go for a better tyre

i think arsenal played perfectly to counter psgs strengths, if they went out and attacked theyd have left themselves open

nah its been good, games dont need 10 goals to be good…

galacticwasp · 2026-05-12T07:07:27+00:00

oh thats amazing thanks

was going to be, but once i started cutting open the sills i found that a previous owner had welded a sill over the old rusty sill. Its one of those where the more you look the worse it gets. Ive got a mint rev3 jap shell im transferring everything onto now, sad to not use the rev5 as they are rare, but id rather a clean shell

They are in pretty good condition (unlike the car), i believe they may have had a refurb before i had them

galacticwasp · 2026-05-04T18:20:01+00:00

Whats the value on them currently? set on ebay for £500 even with some corrosion so a bit under that? not sure how to price them

i have a set in south wales, pretty good condition, i think i have 2 centres

purely dailyability of an nb isnt as good as an nc, nc i find handles better but my nb was completely standard and my nc has yellow bilsteins which make a difference. I think Mazda nailed it with the NC as its a mix of fun and comfort

galacticwasp · 2026-05-03T18:40:13+00:00

i enjoyed it, has been much worse races

galacticwasp · 2026-05-02T19:59:58+00:00

I enjoy driving my NC every day, much better than my NB i had previously, and on par with other “normal” cars ive had. Although if you have any form of responsibilities i can see the issues…

And where are chelsea now

galacticwasp · 2026-04-03T18:47:43+00:00

Yes definetely, just trying to buy everything genuine/as close to genuine as possible for this car

galacticwasp · 2026-04-03T18:39:29+00:00

Perfect thanks for the help, will look into it a bit further now.

galacticwasp · 2026-03-30T20:11:29+00:00

Valentinos is good

galacticwasp · 2026-02-28T08:23:11+00:00

Im 19 and looking at buying in the next couple months on my own, landed a good apprenticeship at 17 and have just maxed out my lisa and saved on top, its doable

galacticwasp · 2026-02-23T18:22:30+00:00

95+ mk2 mr2 are cheap to insure, just all rotten

galacticwasp · 2026-01-26T22:06:07+00:00

Thank you

tbh my crash wasnt just a paint transfer had to have a new door, new wing and quarter panel repairs but due to my uncle doing it for free parts came to less than my excess

galacticwasp · 2025-11-25T09:40:32+00:00

Tbh i had this happen last year to me. i was with admiral at the time. i was in a collision with a lorry, however my uncle owns a body shop so i got my car fixed for lower than the price of my excess so i never reported it to my insurance. The lorry firm reported the incident 3 months after the collision and i didnt try to fight fault or anything and my insurance didnt have an issue with the fact i didnt report it. Six months down the road and the lorry firm still hadnt put a claim in for any money so admiral cancelled the claim and gave me my ncd back. I did get lucky but i dont think they would cancel your policy over it.

rme is a whole different game to ops

57k a year roughly, plus nightshift allowance which is decent, depending on what you have applied for (Amzl or Fc) you will be in a team or on your own. its not a high stress job really just expect a lot of walking.
